Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We headed up north after work on Friday for the weekend! When we left it was 18 degrees and when we returned it was -7!! Yikes!

Nana and her boys!

It was a cold day for the Santa Claus parade!

 The cold weather is definitely here to stay. Please ensure you are sending proper outdoor clothing as we are outside for close to a hour/day. Students will not be kept in during recess because they are not dressed properly.

MATH:

Today we used what we have learned in previous lessons to relate units of measurement. We compared cm to m, dm to m, mm to cm, etc. 

Some of the converting we did!

It is looking as though our unit math test will take place on Monday, December 5. A review will be sent home that weekend.

Homework – MMS pg 146-147

Unit of Inquiry:

Our unit of Inquiry has been pushed aside for a few days this week as we prepare for Science Fair. After a discussion with Ms. Schwarz, we have decided that there is too much going on this week to begin our UOI summative. We will push it back until Science Fair is over. These are two big items that we do not want rushed! We will send home information next Thursday or Friday! We will also be toning it down, as we will only have a week to complete it!

Homework –

I hope you have a wonderful night!
