1. We have been working on our board games for Social Studies on an European Explorer who came to Canada. The students have one more double class and then we will test them on Tuesday. After the first test they can change anything that needs to be changed. I will post an outline on Monday of what the assignment entailed. Students seem to have improved in their planning compared with the last project. (Sorry I thought I had saved a post as a draft which did have thre pictures in it but it has dissappeared.)
2. Math night is on Tuesday! Hope you can make it!
3. Permission slips for 2 performances we are going to were sent home. Not sure about volunteers so will check into it. One is the divisional performance called the Lion King and the other is for the symphony.
4. There was a review package sent home for math. It should be used like a mini test. Have the students try to do all the questions without reference. Then try to look back on the ones that were hard. We will go through the answers in class the day before the test. I have moved the test to Friday as we have one last section to go through and that is adding/subtracting decimals. (Get out the money!) and we may do more on estimating. The test has multiple choice and some long answer.
5. This week is kindness week and many things will be going on. I will add a picture of that information tomorrow at school.
6. In LA we are reading Maniac Magee as a class and writing memoirs which we will turn into tall tales. Once they are finished then they will be posted.
