A little update!
Tomorrow night (Dec 8th) is the Christmas Concert fundraiser for the playground expansion project. It starts at 6:30 and tickets are $7 at the door.
Also, you can bring in any Canadian Tire money that you have lying around. Funds will go to buy toys for underprivilaged children.
We will be working on collaborating with our reading buddies and helping them make a "count down to Christmas" art activity.
If anyone has any leftover cards from last holiday season that we can cut up and use for an art project, please bring them in by next Friday.
We are beginning to look at making inferrences in our reading. This is the first step to being able to answer higher level thinking questions. To make an inferrence, we need to use clues and our own knowledge to make conclusions or to figure something out. Stories, articles and books don't always say everything right there on the page. Sometimes things are implied or hinted at and we have to figure them out. It's all about reading "between the lines"
Tomorrow is the Canada Test and then we will start our Science unit of Light and Sound.
Finally, in math, we are looking at finding the area of shapes using grid paper and today we figured out how to find the area of squares and rectangles without using grid paper: Area = length x width!
