 Light and Chemistry Final Projects

Check out the link to our final video projects for our grade 4 light unit and grade 5 chemistry unit.  

(If you don't see your child's in here, please have that conversation with them - some of the stop motion videos using the app would not download images and remained empty black screens so we had to be flexible and made new plans involving google slides)

Flashlight Friday in the morning - students are invited to bring 1 comfort item (blanket, pillow or stuffy) as well as a few small snacks, their flashlight and a mix of favorite books for reading.

If your family has a much loved picture book that you are ok sending I also read stories out loud during out morning and it's fun to share ones that have a special significance.

Look at these great multiplication strategies that we've been using in class to work with large numbers.  The right strategy makes all of the difference!


If your child hasn't shown you how they prefer to work with these large numbers yet, please ask them to.  You may be amazed to see these interesting strategies in action (and you can head to our Muy Importante on the math section of he website to see a little more about how these work).
