LA - We'll be presenting our how-to writing on Wednesday this week. This one will be handed in as a finished piece, so should be checked for punctuation, spelling, as well as being sure that the explanation is clear and complete.
We have also been working on scary stories! We'll finish these up by Wednesday, so that we can have a spooky story-a-thon for Halloween.
Math - we've started our new unit on whole numbers to 1 000 000. Students will be responsible to write numbers in different formats - standard: 946 123, expanded: 900 000+40 000+6000+100+20+3, in words: nine hundred forty-six thousand one hundred twenty-three, as well as to draw or use base 10 blocks to model the numbers. We'll also be adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with large numbers.
Our first Unit Assessment has gone home, please look it over with your child, and then sign and return it to school. A letter explaining the marking has gone home this week as well.
All students are bringing home progress reports on Friday. We're still relatively early in the year, but we want to touch base with everyone since report cards don't officially go home until mid-November. It is a basic overview of math, LA, and classroom behaviours. Please sign and return the bottom portion of the sheet.
