Thursday HW
1. We are out of Kleenex style facial tissue. The cold and flu season has hit our class hard. If you can spare a box or two, our class would appreciate it. Thank you for the donations received to date.
2. Please let me know if your child would like to order the $4.00 snack pack available for our upcoming TIFF kids field trip. The permission forms are coming home this week. The price is still being set. The package includes popcorn and a 500 mL bottle of water. The film is at 9:45 AM so sugary drinks are probably not a good idea. This is a reasonable price for those wanting a snack with their film-viewing.
3. Book Fair visit this Friday, March 3 at 10:45 AM. Bring money if you want to purchase items.
4. Math Unit 4 quiz tomorrow on Lessons 8 (Dividing decimals by 10, 100, 1000. 10 000) and 9 (Multiplying decimals by 0.1, 0.01, 0.001)
