Good evening parents and students!
I hope that everyone had a chance to enjoy the lovely snow this weekend. Please make sure to send your children with appropriate winter wear as it is still very cold out at recesses. 


Math:
I noticed that some students were struggling to remember the Mean, Median, and Mode so I took some time today to reinforce the learning and created an anchor chart for the classroom.
We looked at bar graphs and what parts need to be included when drawing them. We also looked at how to use appropriate scales (start at___, counting up by____, end at____) when creating graphs with both small and large ranges. Students also learn about what Intervals mean in relation to graphing (creating equal groups for the data).

Language:
We completed our third literacy circle today, only one section left for our novel! Several students forgot their folders at school, which is rather disappointing as it was one of the only things given for homework over the weekend.

UOI: Human Body
Students today will begin our long range individual summative called THE HEALTHY NEW YOU! This project will have students tracking their lifestyles (food and exercise habits) over the course of three weeks. After the first week students will begin to make healthy changes to their lifestyle and will start writing journals about how they are feeling with the new changes.
For the next week students are to track what they eat and what exercises they do each day. Since we do not have school Friday and Monday, students were given their tracker sheets for three week so that they can continues to tract over weekends and holidays.

Students also had a chance to complete their Systems Handouts.

Notes:
