Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone had a great night and we able to stay warm!

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.

Tomorrow is the day! Our Science Fair projects will be judged. The students have worked very hard on them and I am extremely proud. This was a daunting task that they accepted with grace. A big pat on the back for a job well done! Parents are welcome to join us from 2:45-3:20 PM in our classroom (room 12).

Parent/teacher interview forms were sent home and emailed out today. Please fill them out as soon as possible and return to me.

*Please note time change as indicated in email sent out from administration - Parents are welcome to join us, in our classroom (room 12) from 2:45 until 3:20 PM!*

MATH:

Today we continued to look at measuring perimeter. Perimeter is the distance around an object (the outside). In order to find the perimeter, we measure each side then add them all together. For example, a book might measure 5 cm by 6 cm by 5cm by 6 cm. Therefore the total perimeter is 22 cm. If a question asks to find a side all you do is add up the sides you have and subtract that from the total perimeter.

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 150-151

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 on Friday! We will also be toning it down, as we will only have a week to complete it! We will begin our work on Monday, November 28 and it will be due Friday, December 2! 

Homework –

I hope you have a wonderful night!
