Narratives, Newsletter and Skating

We are beginning to learn how to write a narrative.  Mrs. Addison and Ms. Ng collaborated and wrote a story about being locked in the Minto Complex.

Yesterday, both classes helped to write a story about a boy lost in the biggest toy shop in New York City.  For those budding writers who want to get a head start, check out this site here for some fun story starters!  You can find the February newsletter here or on the sidebar:)  Don't forget we are skating on Thursday so bring your skates and helmet!

Today, we leveled narratives written by other students and posted them on padlet. Tomorrow we will take a closer look at what makes a good narrative!

We continue to practice subtraction with regrouping.  Hope these videos will help!

Homework went home today in the yellow folder.  It will be due at the end of the month.  Please make sure it is neat and organized (easier to mark!).  A green duotang also went home.  Please take out the work in the duotang (you can keep that). You can check out the assessments that are stapled but please return them in the plastic folder.  Thanks again!
