4 - Grade 6 Office Helper's meeting is tomorrow with Mrs. Rennie

Mark your calendars - we 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 the Traffic Light Self Assessment tool (like the cups on our desk). Green means you are very confident with the topic, yellow means you kind of know the topic but still have some to learn and red means "STOP - I need help with what I'm learning."
How did you show what you learned?
We put red, yellow or green dots on sticky notes to give to Mrs. Saunders to let her know how well we understand Place Value before we begin the unit.  
What do you need to learn next?
We are starting our Place Value unit now.
