Good Evening Parents!

UOI: Students filled their map of Canada with the capital cities for the provinces and territories. First we brainstormed the provinces and territories as a review, and then the students filled in all the capital cities. They only missed 3 capital cities out of the 13! Way to go my friends! Tomorrow we will be learning about the major oceans and Great Lakes.

We would also like to  fill our UOI board with post cards from different provinces and territories in Canada. Students are encouraged to ask friends and/or family that live in another province or territory to send them a post card to add to our UOI board. We would love to add some to our board!

Provinces and Territory Quiz on Monday Sept. 26! Please use the websites below to study for the quiz. Students will be required to fill out a map of Canada with the provinces, territories and capital cities. Students will also be required to name the oceans and Great Lakes. We will be learning the rest of these topics this week. I have also sent home a quiz review sheet so the students can start studying at home. Please return the green folders everyday.

Spelling: Students have began Lesson 2 in their spelling books. Spelling test is on Friday and Lesson 2 is also due on Friday.

Math: We worked on estimating differences today. Students have Practice book pages to complete. The word about is very useful in math as it tells us that we need to estimate. One student also gave us a definition for estimation, which is a "good guess". Tomorrow we will be working on comparing and ordering numbers up to 10,000.

Anne of Green Gables: Today we read chapter one of the new adapted version of Anne of Green Gables. I have emailed out a scanner version from Chapters One to Five to all parents. Students must complete the Chapter 1 sheets which are apart of the Novel Study package found in their red folders.

Here is the cover of the Anne of Green Gables we are currently reading if anyone is interested in looking for a hardcopy at the library instead of using the soft copy I sent out.
