Meet the Teacher Evening

We are having our annual "Meet the Teacher" evening tomorrow night from 5 - 7 pm. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night! We also have our Book Fair open for you to check out.  We will also have Tosorontio Spirit wear available for purchase.

Reminder

Tomorrow is picture day!! 

Representing, Comparing and Ordering Numbers

This week we have been working hard learning to represent numbers in various ways, as well as ordering whole numbers and decimal numbers. Today we spent some time modelling and ordering decimal numbers to thousandths. Working with numbers less than 1 can be re-enforced and practiced at home easily by talking about money.

We have also been focused on improving our descriptive writing by learning how to include more detail in sentences using adjectives and adverbs.

Remember that "Picture Day," and "Meet the Teacher" are next week.
Have a great weekend!

Math, Meet the Teacher and Picture Day

We are learning about how numbers can be shown (represented) in a variety of forms. Please find examples of numbers from 1 to 1 000 000 in different forms to bring into class.  You can look in books, magazines, newspaper or on the web.

"Meet the Teacher" pizza pre-order forms are due tomorrow, Thursday, Sept 22nd

"Meet the Teacher" is from 5 -7pm on  Thursday, Sept 29th
Picture Day is on Wednesday, September 28th

See you on the 29th!

Great Week!

We had a fun time brainstorming and creating floor plans for a re-designed learning space today.
There are a few more forms going home in the agendas tonight. Please look for the Food Order forms with the youngest and only, as well as the September Newsletter.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Great 3rd Day of school!!
I have sent home the following forms in their Agendas. If you could take some time to read them over and return them to the school (if applicable) that would be great.
Safe Arrival, Acknowledgements and Permissions, Student Information form and a Student Accident Insurance Form.
Thank You

Great first and second day of school!
Yesterday we had fun designing "mini action figure" contraptions to launch a mini figure from one point to another. We also presented our designs and discussed how we where successful.

Today, we brainstormed a giant list of expectations for our class this year as well as played a community building game called "Zip, Zap, Zop!"
Students are reminded to have two sets of shoes (indoor and outdoor) as well as a book to read. It would also be helpful to have a pencil sharpener and pencil crayons.
Thanks
