 Hello NLS Families, This short week is flying by! Today we: read more of our read-aloud novel "The Jumbies" - we are starting to get close to the end of the book (about 12 chapters to go)! It's getting quite intense and we aren't sure what will happen next, but lots of people are making predictions.  worked on the editing and good copies of our Wetland Creature Stories - we will continue to work on this tomorrow and into next week we had music and P.E.!  continued to work on whole numbers in math and using the 3 ways we can represent and describe numbers - standard (93 245), expanded (90 000 + 3 000 + 200 + 40 + 5) and word form (ninety-three thousand two hundred forty-five). We learned all three ways represent the same value, but we can express the numbers in many ways. we also talked about safety in health class.

Hello NLS families, Today we: continued to work on our rough copies of our wetland stories. Hopefully students will finish up on the next few days, then we will move onto editing. continued to learn more about Natural Resources found in Canada. We started a visual journal page about our research. This task can be found on Google Classroom - it is NOT homework though- we will continue to work on this over the next few social studies classes - but you can look at your child’s Google Classroom for more, if you are curious  continued to learn about whole numbers and place value today. We practiced and took up questions today - focusing on standard form, expanded form, and word form. Example: standard form would be 56 236, expanded form would be 50 000 + 6 000 + 200 + 30 + 6, and in word form it would be written as fifty six thousand two hundred thirty six.  learned a new math game today read 2 more chapters from our read aloud novel and had gym today!  Reminders: Photo orders...
