October 1 - 5

It's October already!  Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Reminder that there is no school Monday for the holiday, and also Tuesday for District PD.


Math - this week we are learning and practicing order of operations.  When a math question has more than one operation in it, we have to do them in a certain order.  That order is Brackets, Multiplying and Dividing, Adding and Subtracting. 
Practice page 72 #5 and 6
Page 85 #1, 2, 3 (review on working with large numbers)

LA - stories are due this week.  Students have been given copies of the marking rubric (Camet standards) which will be used on their writing, and should check their own work with it before starting their good copies.

SS - maps are now due, culture brochures are now late

Science - create your arthropod is due

Other - there is an anti-bullying art contest on right now, which closes Friday.  Students are asked to draw and write (by hand, not computer) a poster to help people stop bullying.

All students now have a yellow homework duotang.  Please check the book or this site regularly to make sure your student is keeping up with his / her assignments!  There is also a page protector which is a great spot to put notes and notices to make sure they arrive safely.
