This week! The weather has finally cooled off, and it is starting to look and feel like fall!

Some updates for this week:
Math - we have been working on choosing new bedroom furniture from IKEA, while staying within a specific budget, as well as planning road-trips around Canada using the distances in kilometers between various cities. Through all of this, we have been practicing skills of addition and subtraction of 4-digit numbers using various paper and mental math strategies.
*On Thursday October 5th, we have a Number Sense quiz. Review information can be found on the 'Math' tab of this blog, as well as in your Math Google Doc folder.

Writing - we have been writing personal recounts using proper organization and voice. We specifically have been focusing on using topic sentences to organize our paragraphs, as well as using compound sentences in our writing (main idea, comma, conjunction, second main idea - e.g. Next weekend is Thanksgiving, but I am sad to miss school for 4 days.)

Reading - We have excitedly been reading our library books as well as our new class books (YAY!), and discussing our reading using RAP - restate the question, answer it with details, prove our answer with information from the text.

Other important information:
We have been continuing our cross-country tryouts during the morning. Keep your eyes peeled for the Cross-country team list.
This Thursday is Picture Day.
Don't forget to bring in your cans for our WE SCARE HUNGER initiative.
