Extra Challenging,,,,

Tomorrow we will review representing and comparing fractions and start ordering fractions on a number line. The last topic is expressing fractions as decimals. 

Today everyone brought home a multiplication and division study guide. Please review the skills each night. Tomorrow you will be tested on one skill in the booklet. For example the grade four students 

could have any ten multiplication facts. The grade fives could have a multi-digit multiplication question. The question should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. You will have 8 - 10 of these "quizzes" before the end of the year.

Social Studies
Many grade fours are finished their research and have begun their pamphlets. Most grade fives completed their artifact. Make sure you submit the answers to your research questions about your artifact.

Writing
Several students have finished typing their stories and are working on inserting the text into the picture file. Keep working hard.... the end if near!
