Unit of Inquiry:

Today we had our sound Scientists in the School workshop. It was a fun afternoon with lots of hands on experiments, which the students found very interesting. I was pleasantly surprised by the higher-level questions and answers they asked and gave Scientist Kim. Thank you grade 4’s for making it a wonderful afternoon. Thanks to Scientist Kim for leading the way. Thank you to Ms. Tran and Ms. Al-Assah for volunteering!

After a discussion with Ms. Schwarz, we have decided that there is too much going on next week to begin our UOI summative. We will push it back until Science Fair is over. These are two big items that we do not want rushed! We will send home information next Thursday or Friday! We will also be toning it down, as we will only have a week to complete it!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
