Science

I am sure many parents have noticed the decrease in homework in our science class. I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know there is a very good reason for this. Although it is very important to be able to write out a correct lab, I feel science at the grade five level should be about exploring, learning and even fun. Right now we are learning about weather and this unit allows for a lot of discussion and many practical activities to learn from the environment around us. I feel confident that the amount of knowledge taken in has not decreased with the amount of written work. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you!
