Homework for the Week of October 25th - 29th - DUE ON Thursday, October 29th.

  Hello Everybody!

This week our homework is going to be due on Thursday, October 29th. Your students will get their homework folder and book back on Monday. If they want to work on their homework ahead of time, please just glue or staple the pages with their work into their homework notebook. 

I would also like to send out another reminder to the grownups that the students will begin to use their headphones in class more often, so if you are able to send them to school with a pair of over the ear headphones over the next few weeks that would be lovely. 

Thursday, October 29th will also be the day of our next spelling test. The words can be found below:

Spelling Tasks: I can recognize and spell words with short a and e patterns. 

1. Read your spelling word list and make sure you understand the meaning of each word.
   
   
2. Write each word using Witch Writing. You can draw the witch's hats if you would like but you do not have to. (This is the same as waterfall writing, I just gave it another name)
   
   

   

   
   

   
   
3. Choose 8 of your spelling words, and write a sentence for each word. Put a circle around the spelling word in the sentence. Try to challenge yourself and see if you can use two words in one sentence. 

Reading Task: I can read silently with increasing confidence and accuracy. 

1. 10 minutes of reading is expected to be completed every night. 
   
   
2. You may explore Epic at home if you would like. Please see the instructions on the Resource page which can be accessed on the right menu of my blog. 

Math Tasks: I can compare and order numbers to 1000, and I can represent and describe numbers to 1000, concretely, pictorially and symbolically.

1. Solve the following open-ended problem. 
   
   
   
   I have 3 different numbers. You can see them below: 
   
                             5                                                 8                                         3
   
   How many different 3 digit numbers can I make with those 3 numbers? Show me what they are. 
   
   Put the three numbers you made in order from largest to smallest. 
   
   Put the three numbers in order from smallest to largest. 
   
   If you would like a challenge, try to see how many numbers you can make if you are allowed to make two-digit and one-digit numbers as well. Once you have made these numbers, put all of your three-digit, two-digit, and one-digit numbers in order from largest to smallest, and then in order from smallest to largest. 
   
   
2. Using your knowledge of inequalities (alligator mouths) compare the following numbers. You will need to put one of the following symbols in the box for each question < , > , = . 
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Continue to work on Mathletics. I highly encourage the students to log in to Mathletics and attempt some of the activities, to practice and reinforce some of the concepts that we have learned in class. 

Music Task:

1. Please continue to practice O Canada in sign language. I have inserted a video below to help. We will be "performing" on November 2nd. 
   
   
   
   

Optional Art Task:

1. If your student would like to participate in the art contest for the Minister of Health, please have them create a winter scene art piece on a half piece of paper (half of a regular 8.5 x 11 piece of paper) and submit it to me by Thursday, October 29th. For more details, please see the email that Mrs. Taylor sent home on Friday, October 16th. 

As per usual, please let me know if you have any questions, and have a wonderful week!!
