Tuesday

Today the year 5/6 students watched Les Trois Petits Cochons in French. They were so excited because they were able to follow along and understood quite a lot of the vocabulary as the story was told using the actions we have been learning in AIM. The year 4 students wrote their math tests today. Please make sure that your child is reading a Red Cedar book for their home reading. Some of them need to read these more often to make sure that they are able to vote in April for their favorite book. After working with the year 6's today we have decided to postpone their math test until Friday. Some of the children were still unclear of the concepts of interior angles of a triangle and quadrilateral. They all have a much better understanding now and I want to give them a couple of days to continue working with these concepts before testing. Homework tonight: - home reading - study spelling - math 5p. 143 #1-8 - WITW and Canadian Readers due tomorrow Have a good night!
