Here are the events and reminders for this week.

This week:

Math With Mrs. Brown, students will continue to work on place value.  This week we are working on writing numbers in standard, expanded and word form.  Students who feel confident with this material will be given an opportunity to work on an enrichment project.  With Mrs. Thornton, students are finishing up perimeter and moving onto area. Examining the relationship between the two.

Reading:  As a follow up to our Terry Fox Run, students will be reading a piece about Terry Fox and why he is a Canadian hero.  We will follow up with some questions and discussion about the article.
