Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone had a great night!

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.

Parent/teacher interview forms were sent home and emailed out today. Please fill them out as soon as possible and return to me…due date is tomorrow, Wednesday, November 30!

LANGUAGE:

Today we continued work on our UOI summative. We also read with our reading buddies and made a trip to the library!

Homework - Remember to read for 30 minutes each night!

MATH:

Today we estimated and measured area. Remember that area is the inside of an object. We can count the squares to find area or use multiplication. If a half a square is covered it = half. Therefore two halves = 1. If it is less than half do not count it and if it is more than half, count it as one.

It is looking as though our unit math test will take place on Monday, December 5. We will be having a quiz on Friday and then the math test will consist of students having to create room in a house and then finding the perimeter and area of certain rooms and furniture. A package will be sent home Friday for you to review. A kind reminder that the test is not to be completed at home…it will be completed in class!

Homework – MMS pg 156-157

Unit of Inquiry:

Today we continued work on our UOI summative. This summative will be due Friday, December 2! Since we only have a week, students are expected to draw and write about a light and sound object to help them get back to shore, as they are stranded in the middle of a lake. They must create and draw one hearing aid and one sight aid to help them get back to shore. ALL WORK IS TO BE COMPLETED AT SCHOOL.

Homework

I hope you have a wonderful night!
