 Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful day! Tomorrow is a Day 6, house tie day, and gym. Please ensure students are dressed in their gym uniform ready to board the bus with proper gym shoes at 9:00 AM.  Students will change into their school day uniform after gym. Our Christmas Concert rehearsals are well underway. We are dancing to Justin Bieber's 'Santa Claus is Comin to Town'. A kind reminder to send in the cash for the concert costumes – all payments are due by Friday. Please see the link below for our song and the finale song.

Unit of Inquiry

Today we were at the ROM!

The summative for this unit will have students recreating an ancient artifact from one of the civilizations we studied. Please be sure to read over the package and sign it if you have not already. As of now, the due date of Thursday, November 28th, with presentations beginning this day.

Homework
Bring devices
Bring in items for artifacts

Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we were at the ROM.
As of now our test will be Friday, December 13th.

Points to Remember
Most large numbers are written in short form instead of having to write the large number in stardard form. For example, 5 ½ million is written in standard form as 5, 500, 000. 42, 400, 000 can be written as the decimal 42.4 million. Keep in mind the rounding rules; 0-4 round to the floor, 5-9 round to the sky.

Homework
MMS. 44-45

Today we were at the ROM!
