MATH
Today we looked at adding and subtracting money. The key to this is remembering to put the decimal and dollar sign in the right place. For example: $4.25 + 2.10 = $6.35 & $10.50 – $4.50 = $6.00.
Our unit math test will take place on Monday, February 22. A review will be handed out on Friday! Our next unit Transformational Geometry will be a short unit with our ‘art’ project as our unit test, which will most likely happen on Wednesday, March 2. More details to come!

LANGUAGE
Today we took a break from speeches and read chapter 3 of ‘Stuart Little.’ We also competed some comprehension activities. Please keep practising to memorize your speeches! Top 3 will be chosen tomorrow, Friday, February 19! Oral Presentation Day will take place on Thursday, February 25. Please note that family members ARE more than welcome to join us! Time TBD!!

UOI
Today we looked at fishing communities. We read some information and then answered some questions. Our Urban/Rural summative will also next week. For this summative, students will be working in groups to create a map of an urban and rural community. We will be looking for things such as roads, hospitals, stores, bank, a dump (located outside of the city), houses, highways, and as we move out to the country we should see more green land, houses spread apart, farms, etc. This summative will be due Wednesday, March 2, as our CN Tower trip is on Thursday and then Friday is the last day of school before March Break. I will post a copy of the rubric on the blog or send it home within a few days. I will also send an example of what I am looking for!
Have a wonderful night!

Mrs. Hocevar J
