Good evening everyone!
I hope everyone had a
wonderful night!
A kind reminder to not park, or stop, in the handicap parking spots. We have families who do need these spots and often come to find them taken up by cars without permits. Please pass this note along to anyone who may pick up or drop off your child/children. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
With
the colder weather upon us now, please send appropriate outdoor clothing to
school with your child. Coats, hats, mitts, and boots will help keep your child
warm during recess. Students will not be allowed to stay inside because
they are not dressed properly. My rule is if mom and dad send it to school
you wear it outside!
I sent home the Polar Expressions Publishing letter and
information a few weeks back. I strongly encourage students to enter on their
own time. One of my students placed third last year in the short poem category.
Please keep in mind the due date for the short story is November 30. Good luck!
The big weekend is finally here! This weekend students are to
complete their Science Fair experiment 3 different times. Students can
videotape/take pictures of themselves conducting the experiment to have with
them during presentations. Please remember to record the results of each experiment.
Students should be prepared to begin good copies on Monday, November 27 and set
up their display board on Tuesday, November 28. I have the display boards, but
if they want to decorate their boards, they will need to bring in those
materials. We will be holding in class presentations on Wednesday, November 29
after our Sound workshop. Students will be judged on Thursday, November 30 and
parents are welcome to view the projects from 2:30-3:15.
March Break Camp registrations have been sent
home. If you are interested in registering you chid for our amazing March Break
camp, please send in the completed March Break camp registration form, along
with the $20 one-time non-refundable deposit. Please note that lunch is also
included each day!

MATH:
Today we spent some time reviewing how to find the
area and perimeter of figures.
Key points to remember:
-
1 mm = 0.1 cm & 1 mm = 0.01 dm
-
1 cm = 10 mm (x by 10), 1 cm = 0.1 dm & 1
cm = 0.01 m
-
1 dm = 100 mm (x by 100), 1 dm = 10 cm (x by
10) & 1 dm = 0.1 m
-
1 m = 1000 mm (x by 1000), 1 m = 100 cm (x by
100) & 1 m = 10 dm (x by 10)
-
1 km = 1000 m (x by 1000)
Perimeter – is the outside of a figure and can be found by
counting the units along the outside. We can also add up, or measure and add up,
each side to find the perimeter.
Area – is the inside of a figure and can be found by
counting the square units inside the figure.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we multiply the
length x 2 and multiply the width x 2 then add those numbers together (2 x length)
+ (2 x width).
Homework:
-
LANGUAGE:
Today we had our lesson #11 spelling test and used the rest of our
language period to work on our light and sound summatives.

UNIT OF INQUIRY:
