Word of the day: repast
Congratulations to Braeden for getting 100% on today's spelling pre-test. Anyone who gets a perfect score on their spelling pre-test is awarded "Immunity" from the weekly spelling homework, and is exempt from Friday's test. So Braeden can relax while the rest of the class slaves away on the spelling this week. Well done, Mr. V.!
Reminders:
1. We will be having a taste of Thanksgiving stew this Thursday afternoon at about 2:30. Please send 1/2 cup of cut-up veggies (frozen peas or corn will work as well) with your child Thursday morning to contribute to our pot-luck stew. Thanks!
2. Grade 3 has spelling homework due Thursday.
3. October's book order has been sent home. If you'd like to place an order, please return the forms by this Thursday. Thanks.
The class wrote journal entries regarding last week's Terry Fox Run. There were lots of great writing samples. Megan's was particularly good - well organized and well written.
The third graders worked on "expanded notation" today in Math. We talked about place value (thousands, hundreds, tens and ones), practised writing 4 digit numbers -including ones with missing hundreds (like 2,078), missing tens (like 4,309) and missing ones (like 5,340). We also reviewed breaking numbers up (like 8,976 = 8,000 + 900 + 70 + 6 and putting them together (like 3,000 + 50 + 400 + 6 = 3,456). We should be ready to test for this in the near future. Stand by for a test to come home for Parental Perusal!
