Wishing you a peaceful and

relaxing break from school!

It's also the perfect time to READ, READ, READ!

This morning in Math, students were randomly divided into groups and then had to figure out exactly how many gifts you would receive in total if you got every present during the The Twelve Days of Christmas.

The Caldecott Medal is awarded every year by the Association for Library Service to Children to the artist of the most distinguished picture book for children.

Here in Room 209 we're reading and evaluating a pile of picture books to make our predictions on who should win!

We'll find out if our predictions are correct when the Caldecott Medal is awarded in January.

From the Math Department...

We have been working with coordinates in the Cartesian plane.
Today, students had to carefully follow a list of coordinates to create a surprise drawing.
Job well done!

This morning at Ness...

Room 209 presented at the Celebration of Learning Assembly!

We told the school about our learning in Math (how to transform an improper fraction into a mixed number) and our learning in Social Studies (the important Canadian battles of the First World War).
