6- School Council notice came home last week to the Oldest and Only students. 

7- This Friday is a PD day


Mark your calendars - Room 7 are heading to the Nose Hill Public library on Friday Nov. 2nd

We are currently looking at Place Value in math (Grade 5 - will look at numbers up to One Million and grade 6s will look at numbers greater than One Million.) We want to ensure we understand the place and value of large numbers prior to looking at operations involving numbers.
So, over the next few weeks you can do a few things to feel ready for operations - practice your basic multiplication facts!!! Grade 5 - please practice your basic facts up to 10x10 and grade 6s please practice your basic facts up to 12x12.
Here are a few resources to try at home:

Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We learned about the different types of fabric and what they look like under a microscope. 
How did you show what you learned?
We recorded what we saw on a chart and taped individual threads to help with comparisons. We used the new microscopes to see each type up close. 
What do you need to learn next?
We will continue our study of fabrics and find ways to apply this to our Create a Crime Scene.
