Mrs.B's Smart Cookies
Happy Summer Everyone!!
Thank you so much to all of our amazing families this year. I am honored to have had the chance to work with your children this year and to watch them grow. I look forward to seeing them in our halls next year and catching up with all that they are doing.
Here are a few pictures of our cookie baking to finish off our year :)
Our final week together
Both desk binders and your child's portfolio should now be home so we'll be sending the rest of supplies back to you this week. Any items that are still in good shape please consider keeping for use next year.
There's still lots of goodness to come so please take a look at our busy final week. (and remember to please let me know if your child will not be making it one day, or if your holiday plans start early since all items will need to be cleaned and sent home first)

Math final practice test coming home - Math finals will take place Tuesday June 21 The practice tests are provided to help guide studying at home. They represent the same variety and number of items students will see on their final exam. Students and families are encouraged to use them to help identify areas of strength as well as areas for additional practice to help refresh confidence and understanding before the exam. (please note that hundredths remain integral to our understanding and practice of decimal numbers in grade four and five, so though pennies are no longer in common circulation we do discuss them as examples in the classroom. For test items using money students can choose to either give answers using pennies or round to the nearest nickel as shops in Alberta commonly do)
