Grade 5 was fortunate enough to take part in their ceramic activity today. Students had been eagerly anticipating this after the first date was postponed by the weather. I want to commend the students for being actively engaged with the lesson and also want to thank the parent volunteer who were nice enough to come in and help during this lesson.

This week, room 312 will turn its attention to decimals in math class. Students will carry over many of the lessons from our fraction unit into this new area of study. I continue to advise all students of extra help offered on Wednesday after school. As the need arises, students are welcome to stay.
