Good afternoon!

We started off our day today with our trip to to the Streetsville Library!  The students had a great time listening to the book talk from the librarian.  We heard a great deal about genres and many different series of books the students were very interested in!  Students then had a chance to check out various books and genres as they explored the library.  Students also had a chance to sign out books which they very much enjoyed.  Books that were signed out today are due back to any Mississauga Library location in three weeks from today.  There are a few pictures posted at the end of today's message of the students at the library for you to enjoy!

When we returned to class, the students used their agenda to reflect on their trip, write a summary, and discuss their favourite part of the trip!

During mathematics today the students used newspapers to find various shapes and figures in everyday structures.  The students had a lot of fun with this activity!  They also got a chance to make their own structures out of materials from around the classroom.  Students then were asked to describe the attributes of their structures and draw an illustration of it.  See some pictures below of the students having fun with this activity.   For homework tonight, students are asked to work on the review package that went home with them last night.  We are having out next math unit test Tuesday, December 3rd.  All students brought home their math review package with them last night.  This package is to be used to review and study for this unit test at home.  It will be a compliment to the review and studying for the unit test we will be doing in class together.  

Homework: Read for 2o minutes and record in the reading log,  practice weekly spelling words, and math pages 72 - 73.

Important information: Picture re-takes went home with students last night for those students who had their picture re-taken.

All students brought home a math review package with them last night to help them study for the math unit test coming up on Tuesday.

Parent/Teacher interviews are next Thursday, December 5th.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
