I hope your child was able to tell you all about our Maker Mobile visit on Friday.  We had a wonderful time learning how to create our own 3D houses using tinkercad.com.  Students used 3D printers to bring their creations to life.  Stay tuned on our twitter account to see what our creations looked like. 
This week we started our new unit in Math on 2D geometry.  We will be exploring how to name, describe and classify 2D shapes.
In language, we continue to enjoy being a part of the Global Read Aloud. This week, our book is called "It's Not Fair."  Students have enjoyed relating to this book and seeing how other students around the world feel is 'unfair' in their lives. Our writing focus for the next few weeks, will be on descriptive writing. 
In science, we continue to explore simple machines.  This week students will be challenged to create an example of each simple machine using pasta and glue.  We will post to twitter what our final products look like.
At the end of the day today, Mrs. Campbell declared that tomorrow we will show our support for the Toronto Blue Jays by wearing blue to school.  I look forward to seeing the sea of blue in the classroom tomorrow!
