Monday, September 23

Messages and Reminders:
The Terry Fox run has been rescheduled to tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon in order to beat the incoming chilly weather. We will be collecting donations for Terry Fox all week. A school spirit wear order form went home today. See note below for details. Our class will do our decimal assessment tomorrow morning, which will cover comparing decimals using greater than and less than symbols, writing decimals in standard and expanded form, adding and subtracting decimals, and converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages. We did a practice test today that students are bringing home so that they can study. Please return practice tests tomorrow. Grade six is going on a walking field trip to Nose Hill Park on Wednesday morning. An information letter about the trip went home today. If you are able to volunteer for this trip, please fill out and return the bottom portion of the form. We have library on Thursday. We will do our first spelling test on Friday, so sentences must be handed in by Thursday. The September pillars of care assembly is on Friday morning at 8:30. Notes went home with room 20's winners today. Orange shirt day is Monday, September 30. We will talk more about this day throughout the week and at the Friday assembly.

Morning recap:
This morning when we got back from ignite, we did quiet reading. In language arts, we did a writing sample. We had about an hour to write a story based on this picture.


We will do a story writing sample with a different picture prompt every month in order to set writing goals and see how we improve throughout the year. 

In math, we did a group review of the decimal concepts that will be covered on tomorrow's assessment and then did a practice test so we can see what we need to review tonight. It went home today so that it can be used for studying. We then had time to keep working through last week's booklet to practice our skills. We took a break to go to gym and then continued with math before lunch.
