Thank you to everyone who came out for our celebration of learning. It was great to see so many families and show off what we have been working on.

This week...

**Math**
We have begun our unit on data and statistics. We have learned about probability and different ways to express probability. We have also been learning about theoretical vs. experimental probability and have carried out some of our own experiments with dice, recording information using tallies in a table.

We have also been learning about gathering data using surveys. We carried out our own surveys and represented our findings using tallies and a bar graph.

**Science**
We wrapped up our unit on evidence and investigation. We created review posters and matching activities that we shared at the celebration of learning. We also completed a unit quiz, which we went over and sent home to be shared with parents. Next week we will be starting a unit on classroom chemistry.

**LA**

We have continued our novel study of *Maniac Magee*. We finished section 2 of the book and added to our illustration wall, retelling the story through images.

We have also been hard at work on our short stories. We learned strategies to have compelling rising action and satisfying ways to conclude the story. We also reviewed using quotation marks to add dialogue and took some time to add figures of speech. We started completing a self-assessment of our work and setting goals for our writing moving forward.

**Social**

We finished up our unit on Ancient Athenian Democracy and completed a unit quiz. We will be getting these back next week. We will be moving onto our final unit on the decision-making processes and society of the Haudenosaunee.
