Dear Families, 

Welcome to May!

It is hard to believe that May has arrived! This month will shape up to be a busy one, as we have two field trips to attend. We will be going to York Region’s Water Festival and the Burlington Outdoor Education Center. These experiences will further extend our science knowledge in a hands-on manner.

In this class update newsletter, you will find important information about our class and the big ideas in our learning.

As always, if you any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school or write me a note in your child’s agenda

Looking forward to another exciting month of learning, 

Ms. Chung :)
