Here is what is coming up for our last busy week of school!
 - Tonight a couple important items should be coming home : French duotangs and Portfolios.  Please take some time in advance of report cards the end of this week to take a look through your child's portfolio at all of the great learning that we have done together in grade five!!
 - Tuesday - to celebrate the end of our French and ELA classes Mme. Santerre's class and ours will be going for a walk and heading over to the ice cream bus downtown for treats.  Students are invited to bring money if they would like to buy something, or to bring their own treat to enjoy.
- Wednesday - Grade five finale party at the pool!  We will be walking over around 1:00 and heading back to the school for dismissal at the end of the day.  Students need to bring their own bag in the morning with their  towel, swimwear and anything else that they need.
- Thursday - LGMS year end BBQ.  Thank you SO MUCH to our parent council for supporting this great end of year event.
 - Friday 9:00 LGMS awards assembly.  Dismissal at noon.  Report cards available online.

Tomorrow is National Aboriginal Day!
Our grade fives will be heading downtown to take in the festivities around 9:30 and returning before lunch.  Please join us if you can  :)

Please expect to begin seeing school supplies coming home over the next week.  In an effort to make getting things home the last day easier some items will be trickling home as we finish using them.

There will be no more weekly homework assignments, so last night you should have seen the spelling and math weekly duotangs come home.  Expect also to see the very important portfolios make their way home the end of this week or beginning of next week.

What a wonderful Wetland experience that we had.
A few highlights from the students pond dipping: lots of leeches and shrimp with some caddisfly and dragonfly nymphs, as well as a few predacious diving beetle larva and whirligig beetles.  As well there were a number of killdeer, ducks, and a pair of loons in the pond today!  To see all of our pictures please follow the link to our Wetland Pictures.

Take a look at this video of an adaptation race we played today.  Each group had a different adaptation assigned which made it easier (or harder) to participate in this event :)
