Math Quiz Pattern and Relations October 15

We will be having our first Math assessment of the year for the unit on Patterns and Relations on Thursday October 15. A practice test is being sent home, along with some work samples from the unit, and possibly some work that your child may not have been able to finish in the allotted amount of class time. This is not "homework" in the sense that it needs to be handed in, though students have been encouraged to complete it , to ensure that they have a full understanding of the concepts and time to ask questions around their comprehension before the test. Answer keys have been included for the work samples as well. 

If the practice test didn't make it home this weekend and you would still like to practice, you can email me at slywkam@fsd38.ab.ca and I will send it to you. 

October book orders have also been sent home and are due October 15. 

Homophone and Vocabulary Quizzes have been sent home. If you have not yet signed and returned them please do soon as soon as possible.

Students need to bring in an empty shoe box or Kleenex box to make pinhole cameras for science next week.
