Highlights

We have another eventful week in store for us!

Today, the students had Ms. Mui as a substitute teacher!  Many of our students know Ms. Mui from Kindergarten and Grade 1.  This morning the whole school participated in caroling activities.  In Math, we practiced estimating the number of objects in a group.  We also continued to learn about what the land is like in places like Iqaluit and Meteghan.

Homework

-Due to the winter concerts, caroling and other activities this week, there will not be a spelling list sent home with students

-Reading- Remember to keep track of your minutes on the Read-a-Thon sheet! 

-Dreambox math

Ask me about:

What does estimate mean?  What can you do to help you estimate the number of objects? (E.g., I can make a group of 10 and then think about how many groups of 10 there might be in the total)
