Tuesday, October 28th

This day flew by as we continued finishing up things for term 2.  We looked at sentence fragments and run-on sentences.  Students looked for these when they were editing their papers today.

Students learned about the Terrestrial/inner planets and the Jovian/outer planets.  We watched some short videos on each type of planet and were able to classify and describe all eight planets into these categories.

We began using the partial quotients method to solve division.  Ask your child to explain "lucky 7" and use partial quotients to solve.

TESTING:
This is a very busy time for giving end of the term assessments.  Here is a break down of the anticipated test dates:
Tomorrow: Spanish Test - students should study the words that were provided yesterday for homework tonight
Friday: Science - Students were provided a study guide today and should study it the rest of the week.
            Spelling - students can work on spelling city (there is a link in the Superstar Symbaloo).
             Math - This may be moved to next week, depending on how comfortable we are feeling by
                         Thursday.
Monday - Social Studies - Students brought home information about the colonial regions today.
                 Possibly Math
                 UOI Summative Task Day 1
Wednesday - UOI Summative Task Day 2

I hope this information will assist you with helping your child prepare for these assessments.

Thank you!
