Good afternoon everyone!

LANGUAGE:

Today we were judged on our Science Fair projects. We also had time to fill in our Science Fair reflection sheets.

Homework - Remember to read for 30 minutes each night!

-French – Spelling test Friday & complete the work assigned by Mme. Stella.

-Lesson #11 spelling test tomorrow

MATH:

Today we examined area and how to measure it. Area is the amount of surface a figure covers and is measured in square units. It is the inside of an object. One way to find out the area is to count the squares. Another way is to use multiplication. For example, if there is a row of 3 and columns of 4 then 4 x 3 = 12!

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 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!
