Our amazing week:)
In social studies we finished watching a king Tut movie. It was fantastic. What the movie was about was Carter was tyring to find king Tuts tomb. In the end Carter did find the tomb, but they did not open the tomb. If you want to watch the rest then go on YouTube and type in The Curse of King Tut.
Also in social studies the girls made wigs out of black paper and we had to curl them while the boys had the hardest job ever. They had to have a shirt with brown paper shaped in an oval.:)
Our class is learning how to pray better.We have this poster in our class that has one hand on it. The thumb says Praise God. The index finger says Confess Our Sins. The middle finger says Thank God. The ring finger says Pray For Others. The pinkie finger says Prayers For Yourself. The palm of your hand says Closing. The classes prayers are Kyle (Angela's cousin), Kyle( Mrs. Tersptra), Cheyenne's dad is in Calgary for a week. Spencer's dad's in Cuba for a week.
FRIDAY IS A VERY BIG DAY:) There are 10 kids going to Master Field Day! Make sure your kids have sun screen and a healthy lunch. Keep off the sugar until all our events are done. Mr.Bakker hopes us to have a wonderful day. Mr.Kingma, Mr.Lee,and Mrs.Bylsma are going with us.

This week's new stuff!
This week was very exciting. We had Field Day (it was very tiring). We had a winning team which was team #3, yellow they got gold, #10, brown got silver and the winner of the bronze medal was team # 1,white. We also had a math test on measurements and we hope you all did well. In math this week we're learning how to multiply bigger numbers. Next week Wednesday we are going to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) with grades 5/6 we're all excited : Please note that kids are allowed to take their cameras with them and need to pay $7.00 each. It's going to be a blast :). Also note that we are going to the ROM, not Rome. They are very different. Next week we'll be focusing on Egypt (the ancient part) and if you would like to tell us something that you know about it you are welcome to try.
Thank You!

Weekly Summary May 10-14
This week grade we learned the 10 Commandments. It's not like we didn't know them before but they are very, very important. We also finished unit 9 in math.
A lot of kids did high jump and got to about 85cm. We are very very close to getting 10 people in the class getting a first standard in the 800.
1 week from now (May 26) our class is going on a field trip to the ROM for a end year class trip. We will be focused on the Egypt exhibit.
As you all know track and field is coming up. Please train your kids on high jump, triple jump, 800m, standing long jump, running long jump, and ball throw.
In Social Studies we have gone to the Ontario Legislature with bills our groups came up with. It's quite fun.
We also did fun fractured fairy tales.
Well, there's a small summary by Michael and Shannon.

What We Did This Week
This week we started a new reading unit. We also learned how Toronto lives. We liked making Fairy-Tales into Fractured-Fairy-Tales. Surprisingly everyone can get 3rd standard(75cm) in high jump with Mr.Kingma. On Wednesday we had an oral French quiz and everyone did pretty well! We are learning how to use 1cm squared units in math. In the computer lab we each did at least a one page slide show on OPEN OFFICE. We had a lot of fun practicing Field day with our field day teams. We also started a system that if you tip on your chair you have to do 5 push ups.
We had a FANTASTIC week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEEK OF APRIL 26-30
This week we had some awesome weather. We also finished our Literature Circles and are now working on the final project. In Gym we are starting high jump for Field Day 2010! Most of the classmates have finished their art project.
The month of April is coming to an end but lots of Birthdays are coming up!We are learning about different religions in social studies. To wrap things up we have a new box of encouraging letters. How it works is if someone says something nice to you put the name and what they said then put it in the box.
This was an awesome week!
