Whew!

We've had a busy few days. Thank you to the families who are checking our Blog and have already sent in pumpkins for us to work with next week. We would still like to have a few more so if you missed our first request, please send a pumpkin in next week!

Our literacy focus this week has been on descriptive landscape writing inspired by the beautiful scenery at Ralph Klein Park. We have impressed Mrs.Cose with some of our interesting descriptions and use of similes. Many of us were able to go back and edit our writing to add more interesting words and to change the beginning of our sentences so that there was more variety.

In math we have been working on comparing and ordering numbers to 10 000. Today we worked on identifying 10 more/less, 100 more/less, and 1000 more/less. For example, ____ is 100 more than 3451. For most of us this was a fairly simple task unless there was a change in two place values (ie. 302 is 10 more than _____.) Next week we will continue working on this and will be starting addition and subtraction of numbers to 10 000 soon. A review of basic addition and subtraction facts would be beneficial for all students.
