Good Afternoon Parents,  The Grade 1 Farmer's Market: Today we supported the grade 1s during their summative task, the Farmer's Market. Thank you grade 1s for putting on such a fun and healthy event!  Inquiry into Math: Today the grade 4s learned how to order and compare decimals. We used number lines to help make connections between decimals and our base 10 blocks.

Now we can easily order our decimals from greatest to least without any confusion:  0.12, 0.1, 0.05 Inquiry into Language: Spelling Lesson 17 -  Don't forget, there is a spelling test tomorrow.
