Math - Mr. Mitchell's math group - (MMMG) student's are asked for homework to construct in their math grid notebooks, 3 different rectangles each with a perimeter of 20cm. They are to label the sides of the rectangles. This will be the 3rd day in a row we have done questions of this kind so it shouldn't be something they haven't (contraction) seen.
Language - Mr. Mitchell's Language group (MMLG) completed our study on contractions and predicting while reading. Please encourage your son/daughter to show you when a contraction appears in their self-selected reading times at home, and see if they are able to say what words the contraction means.
Science - Most of the presentations were given yesterday and today. There are a couple left for next week. Our next unit of study will be Gears and Pulleys. This will be developed by myself and our student teacher from University of Ottawa, Ms. Ross.
Other- 
Please help ensure students have different indoor and outdoor footwear.
Many students are completely out of their September materials (pencils, erasers etc). Please ask your child what supplies they are in need of.
