We have started a new unit on Fairy Tales! I like to do Fairy Tales in the spring, as it seems like such a magical time of year!
We started by reading different versions of Goldilocks. Starting out with a classic version, we discussed how most fairy tales are adapted from the original stories and how authors write them with their own spin.
This version is more modern and as we read it, we stopped to identify where we find each of the 5 story elements; Main Characters, Setting, Problem, Solution and Title.
Next, we read a personal favourite of mine Goldilocks and the 3 Dinosaurs by Mo Willems. This tale is similar in some aspects, but then quite hilarious and different. See if you can have your child retell you the story!
Using a venn diagram, we discussed the differences and similarities in both versions. Students worked in partners to complete this and then we shared as a class. 
The last version we read was another Fractured Fairy Tale, Believe Me, Goldilocks ROCKS! It was as we read this book we began to discuss what a fractured fairy tale was, and how each story we read was different.
Lastly, the students wrote about which was their favourite version, describing their favourite scene.
Math
Our main focus is still on division. Students worked on solving division problems in various ways, and how we can share when we divide or create groups.
Students also worked on Fact Families, relating multiplication to division.
We also worked with word problems and how to solve them using division.
Science 4
These Twisted Trio Toys employees are working hard! Students are working at their own pace through their building tasks. Each group is also making a commercial to advertise their marble tracks! Stay tuned!

Science 3
Survivor continues! This week students worked through challenges to see whether a larger or shorter gap creates a stronger arch, 1 pillar vs. 4 pillars, and pillar shapes (triangular, cylindrical, or rectangular).
The grade 4's spent a morning shadowing Grade 5 Students at Riverview! This included participating in class lessons, following them between class transitions and (I think their favourite part) recess!
