The Breadwinner
Yesterday we finished reading "The Breadwinner" book and today we watched the movie. We discussed how the movie was different than the book, and the life lessons we could learn from Parvana.
"Parvana is an 11-year-old girl who lives under Taliban rule in Afghanistan in 2001. After the wrongful arrest of her father, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy to support her family. Working alongside a friend, she soon discovers a new world of freedom and danger. Drawing strength from the fantastical stories she invents, Parvana embarks on an epic quest to find her father and reunite her family."
Cubby Clean Out
Today we are taking home all of our amazing work completed during this year. We have different journals and folders for each subject. A few students decided to throw part of their tasks on the recycling bin, instead of placing some of their work on their folders. Ask your child about their proudest work and memories during this school year.
Room 4 Celebration | June 27, 2019
If you would like to provide nut-free snacks for our final day celebration, we will use the early dismissal day on Thursday, June 27 to celebrate the end of an amazing year! We will likely (weather permitting) have a picnic outside and play some whole class games.
Report Cards
Tomorrow, students are taking their report cards home. If your child is away tomorrow, please stop by or make arrangements with our office to pick it up.

Science | Butterflies Experiment
Today we released our butterflies in our garden. They seemed as sad as we were to say goodbye. Some butterflies decided to hang out with us a little longer and others needed an extra hand to leave their cage.

Science | Waste in Our World
We’ve all been told that we should recycle plastic bottles and containers. But what actually happens to the plastic if we just throw it away? In this TED-Ed video, we learned about the life cycles of three different plastic bottles, shedding light on the dangers these disposables present to our world.
Also, plastic pollution poses one of the biggest known threats to the ocean, influencing all ecosystems from beautiful coral reefs to abyssal trenches, eventually accumulating in our own food.

What Are The Oil Sands?
Oil sands are a mixture of sand, water, clay and bitumen. Bitumen is oil that is too heavy or thick to flow or be pumped without being diluted or heated. Some bitumen is found within 70 metres (200 feet) of the surface, but the majority is deeper underground.
The Athabasca oil sands are large deposits of bitumen or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada – roughly centred on the boomtown of Fort McMurray. These oil sands, hosted primarily in the McMurray Formation, consist of a mixture of crude bitumen, silica sand, clay minerals, and water.

Math | Subtracting Decimals
Today we learned and practice how to subtract decimals. The most important thing to remember when adding and subtracting decimals is lining up the decimal point. And making sure when you regroup you add the number and add it to the original total.

Science | Waste in our World
We produce too much waste. It is more important than ever to reduce the amount of natural resources being used in manufacturing processes, as well as increasing recycling rates and reusing materials.

Math | Decimals
We continue to learn more about decimals. A decimal is any number in our base-ten number system. Specifically, we will be using numbers that have one or more digits to the right of the decimal point in this unit of lessons. The decimal point is used to separate the ones place from the tenths place in decimals. (It is also used to separate dollars from cents in money.) As we move to the right of the decimal point, each number place is divided by 10. We discussed and practiced creating 100-chart grids with different decimals and comparing them with fractions.
