Newsletter
Weekly Update: Oct 9 - 13, 2017


Language Arts
This week in writing, we are beginning to publish our first opinion essay. This will include typing the essay on the computer and then revising and editing to make the writing even better. In reading, we will continue with nonfiction texts and strengthen our skills in finding the main idea and details.


Math
Students will be learning about factor pairs and determining which numbers are prime and which numbers are composite.The students will also be playing games that involve multiplication and division in order to solidify their facts.


Science/ Social Studies
It is a short week.  Students will continue to work on their culture slides and identity posters.


Resources
As we are studying prime and composite numbers in math here are a few games that will give your child practice at recognizing these numbers. One game is called Fruit Shoot and another is a helping game about Prime and Composite numbers. Once they have played these games they could test themselves on Prime and Composite Numbers.


Announcements
No school on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th October. We will be having  Goal Setting Conferences with parents and students in our homerooms.

Gentle Reminder:  If both the parents are travelling and children are in someone else’s care, prior to departing the parents must fill out a short or long term Guardianship form and deliver it to the office.



Celebrations
