A Few Things...

Happy Autumn everyone! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful sunny Saturday. Just a few upcoming things to be aware of. A math review sheet went home on Friday reviewing addition and subtraction. The students were given time in class and should have a good portion already done. This is in preparation for a unit test on this Friday, September 30th. The following topics will be on the test:

• place value (all areas from quiz)
• addition and subtraction (computation and word problems)
• rounding to the nearest 1000 (to be taught this week)

We have also begun to talk about the elements of autobiographies. Our goal is to begin to write our own autobiography this week. In order to have some facts to use, I ask that you please complete the interview sheet with your child and return it on Monday. Thank you!

First Math Quiz

We have been working hard on place value in math. A review sheet has gone home today and is to be completed and returned by next Tuesday, September 20th. This sheet is a great preparation for a quiz we are going to have on that day. Encourage your child to ask me for help in any area that they may be having difficulty. Thanks for your continued support!

Great First Week!

It was nice to meet so many of the parents on the first day of school! We had a lot of fun getting to know one another and the routines. See everyone tomorrow.

Welcome Back!

I am looking forward to meeting all of you tomorrow. It is going to be a wonderful year in Grade 5!
