Amazing Race, June 15th: Call for Volunteers!
Parents, have you ever wanted to go on the Amazing Race? If so, here is your chance!
We are looking for 6 keen parents to participate in the Amazing Race as chaperones. Run, walk, bus, eat, and ferry (?) your way around Vancouver with your son or daughter and their teammates. It's fun (and it's a little crazy).
We are also looking for station/challenge judges- this is a half day commitment and requires no running.
If you are interested in running the race or judging challenges, please email Ms. House.
Thank you!

Math Test This Tuesday, May 16th
We will have a math test on data and probability this Tuesday.
We have reviewed in class and students should continue to review the following terms and concepts at home with their JUMP workbooks. All students already made cue cards for mean, median, mode and range. This is an effective way of reviewing the concepts: create flashcards with the term on one side and the definition and an example on the other.
Parents, you can help quiz them too!

Stem and Leaf Plots: how to create them from a set of numbers
Organizing data using:

All of the above for Grade 6 and the following:
