Election Day


Today our day began with a math lesson. Students rounded decimals to the nearest whole number, tenth place, and hundredth place. Students used place values and number lines as strategies to help them when rounding decimals.  We made good progress on the practice questions. Students are asked to complete all questions on p. 127 and 128.

We had an hour of class time to work on science fair projects today. Students who did not have their work with them worked on their math homework. Tomorrow is the last day for testing building, and note-taking in class. Students will be taking home their science fair work to finish up over the weekend at home. Students who are behind are strongly encouraged to come to school early each day to work on their projects from 8 am to 8:45 am daily. Students should all have purchased their trifold display board.

Then it was finally time for government presentations. We had packed room as families joined us as did the Grade 3 and 4s. Grade 5s and 6s did a wonderful job of sharing their learning with such a large audience. We are also happy that it took only about an hour to get through the presentations. Well done to all students for all their hard work.
