Under Construction

We began our morning by reviewing whole number concepts in preparation for Friday's unit test. We did not get through all the review and will write the test on Friday, not Wednesday. In arithmetic we also spent time doing review work.

In our Communities time, students continued working on their 3-D models. Ms. Pattenick supplied students with paint during their art time to decorate their models. The models are coming along nicely, but taking longer than expected. Students will get more time in class tomorrow to complete them.

Our Toronto trip is coming up on Thursday. We took time in class to discuss the trip schedule, dress, and the factory rules. Please look out for a letter coming home today about the trip.

Students worked on list 1 and 4 spelling words. They also did review work on language in preparation for Monday's language test.

Students attended French, art, and gym class today.

Homework & Reminders:

  • Review list 5 spelling words
  • MMS- review unit 2 on Whole Numbers in preparation for Friday's test
  • Arithmetic p. 29 & 30
  • Review trip letter
