(Review) Word of the day; famished

Parents,if you haven't been in yet to check out the witch hat creations, try to slip into Room 4 in the next little while. Everyone did a wonderful job decorating hats this year. We could open up a store!

Also, as a special Hallowe'en activity, Jasper Elementary School is collecting for the local food bank. If you'd like to donate, please send non-perishable donations to school with your child. Thanks!

Reminders:
1. Students need a clean, empty tin can or food box (cereal box, cracker box, etc.) for a Wednesday afternoon art project.
2. There is no spelling homework for Grade 3 this week, but there will be a test of special Hallowe'en words this Friday. The words are: spooky, ghost, skeleton, zombie, cemetery, Frankenstein, mummy, vampire, witch, pumpkin, devil, cauldron, and coffin.
3. We will be having a Hallowe'en party this Friday afternoon. Students are invited (but not required) to dress up for the afternoon on Friday. As well, anyone who would like to send cookies, cupcakes, or other snacks for the party is most welcome to do so - with our thanks! Students should also bring a small fruit juice for Friday afternoon's party.
4. Grade 3 math problem solving sheet is due tomorrow. For absent students, the problems are:
1. Wolfman used special shampoo. His shampoo regularly cost $4.98 but was on sale for $0.50 off. What was the sale price of the shampoo?

2. Bart the Bat flew 15 km. on Wednesday, the same amount on Thursday and 23 km. on Friday. How many kilometres did he fly on those 3 days?

3. The mummy's bandages kept falling off. One strip was 95 cm. long. How much longer would it have to be to be one metre long?

4. The Count and his wife ordered 2 bat-wing, chicken foot pizzas for supper. Each pizza had 2 dozen bat wings and 30 chicken feet on it. How many fewer bat wings than chicken feet were there altogether on the 2 pizzas?

5. Hilda the Hag had 16 purple hairs in each of her two false eyelashed. She had 194 purple hairs in her dress-up wig. How many purple hairs did she have altogether?
