Week of September 23 - 27, 2013

Thursday HW
1.  Math Unit 2 Lessons 1-4 quiz on Friday September 27.
This quiz cover addition and estimation.  Students should study vocabulary such as "front-end estimation' and "Rounding the nearest 100/1000" so they can interpret the quiz instructions.  There are opportunities on the quiz to show the exact answer, but the students will also be asked to show their grasp of estimation techniques.  As a result the test is written under a generous, but firm, time limit.
2.  Spelling text work page 13 # 1,3,4; p. 14 # 5,6,8,9; and p. 15 # 1,2.
3.  Terry Fox donations will still be accepted  tomorrow and early next week.  Thank you for the generosity you've shown as a class!  We had a great Run today and have raised $274.50 in cash, cheques and online.   Wow!  Well done room 365!
4.  Pizza Lunch tomorrow.
5.  Photo Day on Tuesday, October 1.
