HANDWRITING
The students copied the following riddle, answered it, and wrote the date.
Why didn't the skeleton fight the monster?

FRENCH
We learned the names for various insect body parts today.
les ailes - wings
la tĂȘte - head
les pattes - feet
les antennes - antennas
le thorax - thorax (chest)
l'abdomen - abdomen (stomach and butt)

MATH
Miss Riddell went through our Fractions test and then introduced our new unit on Geometry.

SCIENCE
We corrected a paragraph about the different layers of soil. The top most layer is called topsoil and contains organic material, that is things that were once alive. Humus is also a large ingredient in this layer. We also read about the soil found in the St. Lawrence River Valley and around the Great Lakes. It is very fertile and many fruits, vegetables, and grains are grown there.

SHOW & SHARE
We heard about summer plans for motorbiking, camping, moving, and swimming.

* Tomorrow is Relay day remember to dress in your team's theme and bring a loonie.

* The answer to today's riddle was: He didn't have enough guts.
