Students rocked their final assessment for the Circulatory System unit -- 5D is a class of budding scientists! I will hand back these tests in March -- can you believe that our first six weeks of 2010 are already coming to an end?!!?

Tiana delighted the class with an incredible Chinese New Year presentation today to ring in the Year of the Tiger (which will officially begin on February 14th). She thoughtfully made red envelopes full of treats and chocolate coins for everyone, and brought in delicious egg tarts (we were all excited to learn that they taste much differently than they sound). Tiana brought in a really neat dragon head that students got to wear -- it was a really lovely presentation and 5D thanks Tiana for all of her hard work!!

In Math, we finished off our February together with some more Fractions review. I handed out an optional package to work on over the break to keep your brains sharp. You will notice that there is not much space for showing your work -- feel free to do your work on a separate piece of paper.
We will not take this package up -- complete at your discretion, but you know the value of keeping concepts fresh in your mind!

If you would like to bring in Valentines tomorrow, please feel free! Just be sure to bring in one for each member of 5D.

RED DAY TOMORROW!
GO CANADA GO!

Please continue to work on Speeches. Work can now be completed at home. We will check back in together in March.

Good night, 5D! Enjoy the torch celebrations tonight if you are going!
