May 4-8

Hello Families,

The week we are working on multiplciation of decimals!
You can help your child with equations such as 0.03 x10, 0.03 x100, 0.03 x5, and 0.03 x 0.1

There will be a short quiz Thursday to measure their understanding, particulary as participation today was less-than-stellar (see other blog post).

As well, the students need to read, and complete their vocabulary sheets.

Mrs. Levesque would like those who can to bring a small green plant to school for Thursday's science class.

Have a wonderful week,
Ms Napier
