Highlights:

*We discussed how to "bump up" marks with our reading responses to ensure we are making meaningful connections to the books we read. 
*We had a pop quiz about area and perimeter to see what we need to focus on in our new math unit. 
*We went to the Book Bank and heard a story about a mask that captured the spirit of a fallen tree. 
*We played soccer, gymnastics, and badminton in gym. 
*Some of us received the uniforms ordered, the next delivery will come soon. We will have to start wearing uniforms on May 1st!! There is still time to order through the parent council.
