Happy Halloween everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful night of trick or treating! We had a great night. Carter lasted almost two hours and Kase only about 30 minutes. He was more excited to hand out the candy with Nana!

It turns out I need a new hard drive, so until then I will try sending pictures via email!

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 dates – poetry deadline is November 15 and the short story deadline is November 30. Good luck!

MATH:

Today we focused on Capacity – how much a container will hold. We use litres (L) to measure big containers and millilitres to measure (mL) to measure small containers. We found out the 1000 mL = 1 L. To convert L to mL, we move the decimal 3 spots to the right and add 0s. For example, 5L = 5000mL & 1.35L = 1350mL. To convert mL to L, we move the decimal 3 spots to the left. For example, 3000mL = 3L & 4380mL = 4.38.

Homework:

-MMS pg 84-85

LANGUAGE:

Today we read chapter 10 of Anne of Green Gables. In this chapter, Anne had to cut of her long red hair because she died it a particular colour. Ask me what colour. We also read that Anne and her friends were playing a game, which included a dying princess floating in a boat. Anne plays the princess and the boat ends up leaking. Anne has to hold on a pillar of a bridge because the boat sinks. She eventually gets rescued. Ask me who recuses Anne. We also went over our Guy Fawkes Poem.
