I am still waiting on a few parents to connect to ‘Class Dojo.’ It is a great way for you to monitor your child’s behavioural progress while at school! Please continue to sign agendas and check the blog.

Math

Today we worked with rounding numbers. We rounded numbers to the nearest thousand, hundred, and ten. Here is our rounding rule: 5 or more let it soar (round up) and 4 or less let it rest (round down). We also have to remember to use our next-door neighbor to help up out. For example if we are rounding to the nearest 1000 we look in the 100 columns to see if we round up or down. If we want to round to the nearest 100 we look in the 10s column to see if we round up or down (round 1377 to the nearest 1000 = 1000 and round 5624 to the nearest 100 = 5600 and round 9387 to the nearest 10 = 9390).

Language

Today we did some work on commas.  We completed a lesson in our Writing 4 books and then began some work sheets. We used our other language period to finish up math. 

U.O.I. (Unit of Inquiry)

Today we created a good manners flower. Students chose a piece of construction paper, cut out a flower and pasted good manner behaviours on the flower.  Reminder that students will have a small test on what they remembered about a place setting on Monday, October 5.

Have a wonderful night!
