Students have been working on constructing and interpreting both bar graphs and pictographs. We can spoken a great deal on the criteria required for a bar graph, weather is is vertical or horizontal. Please ask your child the criteria necessary for a graph (ie. title, legend, scale, labels). Today students gave each other feedback on their first attempt of creating a pictograph.

We have also taken our data collected from our Fish Creek field study and constructed a large Venn Diagram, visible to all! From there, we created a bar graph to illustrate the benefits to humans, nature, and both of having a park located in an urban area.

Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! Please wear pink (or related hue) to support the day. We will be looking at how to spread kindness among our classroom peers and school community. If possible, could your son/daughter please bring a rock to school tomorrow afternoon.

Please ask your child to tell you about our Artist in Residence and the topic of focus (photography).

All grade 4 students also had a presentation from Green Calgary. Please ask your child about their experience during the presentation. Students completed a writing task this afternoon for me as I wasn't in attendance for the presentation. They were asked to include at least 5 scientific words that were discussed during the presentation.

Our next field study is Tuesday, March 10th - we are heading to the Central Library in the morning and the students will be completing a downtown scavenger hunt in the afternoon. If you can volunteer, please let me know. Please email me at tdgiffen@cbe.ab.ca.
