Friday, June 1st from 8:10am-11:40am (Scientists in School: Structures, Stable and Strong) and Wednesday, June 6th from 12:45pm-2:45pm (Teacher's Pet: Tunisia). 

So far we are looking for 1 more volunteer for June 1st and 3 volunteers are still needed for June 6th.

Highlights:
We started our day with a brain dump. We had math. Today's lesson focused on describing prisms and pyramids. We had music and gym outside. Gurbani presented her science-in-a-box on crystals. We had writing. We will be focusing on persuasive writing for the next few weeks. 

We continued with writing after lunch. We also watched a video on Tunisia. This is the last country we will be learning about in social studies. At the end of the day, we went outside with our grade 2 buddies and sketched parts of the playground. 

Important Information:

• Weaving for Water is a service learning project by the Grade 3 students at Panorama Hills School. Our creative students have chosen to raffle their handiwork in support of clean water projects around the world.
  
  
  When you buy raffle tickets from our Grade 3 students, you are helping to improve the quality of life of families who do not currently have local access to clean water. Raffle tickets are $2 each.

  Tickets: 1 for $2, 5 for $10 or 10 for $20
