1. Egg Protector report writing went well today. We will have our egg drop on Monday afternoon next week. Any additional building should take place at home.
The kids have gym first thing in the morning and I have duty at 8:35 AM.
If anyone is looking to leave the egg with me for safekeeping it has to be before 8:30 AM
so I can be on time for my yard duty.
Thursday HW

2. Egg Protector building went well today. We will work on the report tomorrow with a target egg drop on Monday or Tuesday next week. Any additional building should take place at home.

Tuesday HW
1. Math Quiz on Friday for Measurement lessons 6,7,8,9.
2. Egg Protector materials in class for Thursday.
3. Page 37 of Spelling text.
Two notes of a general nature:
a) A growing number of students regard our home practice as optional. Today's MMS 6.6 check revealed nine of 24 students without no homework done. Some amount of practice and reinforcement are beneficial for skill building.
b) Our class was left with a surprising amount of debris, scraps and building garbage from our egg protector work. I will encourage the kids to pick up after themselves with your help. Thanks.
Monday HW
1. MMS lesson 6.8.
2. Spelling page 35, #1,2,3 and page 36 #5,6,7. We worked on this today in class for 25 minutes.
3. Spelling dictation tomorrow for Word Up List 8.
4. A letter from the office was delivered today requesting materials for the Centennial Mural that our class is helping to compose. The text of the letter is below:
April 16th, 2014
Dear Parents,
In order to honour Runnymede's Centennial, the student body
has been creating murals for the last two years to showcase each decade. This
year, the grade five students will be painting two murals of the 1980's and 1990's
during the month of May. We are asking for donations of rags, margarine
containers (and other similarly medium sized plastic containers) and old sheets
to be used as drop cloths. If you are willing to donate any of these items,
they would be greatly appreciated. Please send them to school over the next
week with your child (collection date ends April 30th, 2015).
Thanks,
Andrew Reynolds.
