November 2-5th

Math - the beginning of our unit on MULTIPLICATION (we need to know up to three by two digit multiplication); first quiz to assess student understanding this Friday.

Social Studies - winding up our unit on changes between 1745 and 1820, it is time to review the effects of the Conquest, the Loyalist migration north, and the introduction of the parliamentary system in Canada. Extra classes this week (we are slightly behind where I would like to be), so language arts homework will focus on reading the text and completing graphic organizers and study sheets.

Language Arts - Read, of course!

Have a wonderful week, and rest up tomorrow!
