 Good afternoon Families!

Tomorrow is Wear Red and Green day! Wear red and green to celebrate the time of the year!

Today in PE, the students worked on showing the skills they have learned during the soccer unit before they begin to play some games. 

In Writing, student were to take an ending to a story and change it to something more descriptive and use two of the strategies that we discussed days earlier rather than just The End with an explanation attatched. Students practiced this on two different examples to help them gather ideas and provide feedback on how to finish an ending with more. 

In Math, the students used their knowledge about ordering tenths in order from smallest to biggest or vice versa, and practiced this. We then learned about ordering hundredths. We know that hundredths are smaller than tenths but when we order them it can get tricky. When we order hundredths from smallest to biggest we are taking the number closest to the tenth before hand and working toward the next tenth. When thinking about how to do this we are thinking that the 0.1 is actually 0.10 and place the hundredths that fall between 0.1 and 0.2 before continuing on to the next numbers. It can get confusing, but it is like counting down or up to 100 in a way. 

In Word Work, students worked on sorting and finding the word patterns that their new words would be like. 

During Makerspace, students were tasked with making a winter animal. 

This afternoon we continued to work on our Northpole Ninja activity of making snowmen ornaments that we will gift to someone else. Students who finished their ornament got started on a card for seniors in our school community.

I hope you stay warm and safe!
