Hello everyone,
Math - Mr. Mitchell's math group (MMMG) has begun using decimal numbers to show lengths e.g. 4.6 cm This new place value (tenths) is a giant step forward in their developing understanding of numbers. Please help support this by measuring things around the house in centimetres,  including the new tenths place value. We also have been relating this distance (e.g. 4.6 cm) to it's equivalent 46 mm. Our work in Measurement is coming to a close in the next few days. A quiz on some important content will likely be on Monday Dec 2nd.

Language - Mr. Mitchell's Language group (MMLG)  are creating a narrative story and developing how it's 5 main parts: characters, setting, problem, solution, ending, can be explored. Our exciting story so far is about 2 kids who go to the lake but soon discover they have not brought any food!
-Our library visit is tomorrow and if their are any library books at home that should be returned or renewed please send them tomorrow.
-Students are to read a self-selected book each month and present at least one book review each month on their chosen book.

Science - Our next unit of study will be "Gears and Pulleys" and it will begin on Monday.

Other - Our student teacher from University of Ottawa, Ms. Ross will be joining our class daily for the month of December beginning Dec 2nd. Welcome Ms. Ross!

Thanks to those parents who have replenished their son/daughter's supplies recently (pencils, eraser, ruler, scissors, glue sticks, markers, coloured pencils). Please ask if your child needs any of these materials on an on-going basis.

Regards,
D. Mitchell
