I hope had a great night! Monday is day 1 (reading buddies). On Monday we will begin our new unit for Unit of Inquiry: The Human Body. I would just like to thank all of the Grade 5 parents who came out to visit the Grade 5's ancient civilizations museum! I hope you enjoyed your visit to our museum.
Parent Guild has put together a fun day for our last day of school on December 20th. Please fill out the forms that were sent home today. Forms are due December 10th.

Today during UOI our class held an ancient civilizations showcase for the entire school, as well as Grade 5 parents!
Thank you to Mrs. Haag, Ms. Chiapetta, Ms. Foti, Ms. Jasolka and Ms. Samuel's class for visiting our showcase!
And a special thank you to all the Grade 5 parents who attended our showcase today !
Today we did not get a chance to get to Math as we had a very busy day with our ancient civilizations showcase as well we had music, gym and French! For homework students will complete a mini review on the lessons we have learned thus far (lesson 1-5).
Points to remember:
4.9 = 4 and 9/10 (tenths)
4.99 = 4 and 99/100 (hundredths)
4.999 = 4 and 99/1000 (thousandths)
¼ = 0.25
½ = 0.50
¾ = 0.75
- 2.25 million is written in standard form as
2, 250, 000.
As a decimal we write it as 2.25 million (2 whole million + 0.25 million) and as a fraction it is ¼ of a million (25 is ¼ of 100).
