Dear students,
What are different ways of writing and showing the number 346?
Using Kidspiration math and see if you can show a number in the different ways. First write your name or names and then click the yellow box. In the yellow box write a number in standard form, write it also in expanded notation and write it’s base ten name. Don’t forget to also show the number in its Base Ten Form. Print it out and you are done!

Dear Division 15,
Yesterday we had the chance to go on a nature walk near our school. We had the chance to observe some water in our community.
What are some of the questions you have about water? What did you observe about water? Why should we study about water? Please share some of your thoughts and questions.

Dear students,
What a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend. I had the chance to run the 10 km Turkey Trot at Granville Island. It took me 1 hour and 1 minute to run this race. At times during this run I was really tired and thought, “I should stop running, I’m too tired.” However, strangers encouraged me and smiled throughout the way. There were even performers who would sing songs, and so I just kept on running. Sometimes when things are tough, it’s good to be reminded what we are thankful for.
During my run, I thought about all the people I was thankful for and why I was thankful for them. I am thankful for my family and my friends. I am also thankful that you are my students. Although Mrs. Malito did not run the Turkey Trot with me this year, we enjoy talking about how we are thankful for our students this year.

Dear Division 15,
I am so excited that you are all in my class this year. Thank you for being my students.
We finished reading a very special book called, “Thank you, Mr. Falker,” written and illustrated by Patricia Polacco. Trish is a very talented art student, but found reading and math difficult. She also went through a hard time with students who were unkind to her. I loved how this story was actually based on a true story of the author, Patricia Polacco.
Trish had very special people in her life, such as her grandmother, grandfather and of course, Mr. Falker, who helped her go through the difficult times through encouragement and learning.
What did you find special about this book? What is something that comes easily for you at school? What is something that is more difficult for you that we can help you with this year? What can you do if you are going through a hard time?Please share on our class blog.
Sincerely, Ms. Sim
