Another wonderful day. Today we had 6 students reach the top of the chart! Decide what you'd like to do during your free gym time super students.

Math
Today we practiced representing numbers different ways using money. For example, this week at Best Buy ......

A MacBook is $2799. What are five different ways to pay for this computer using:

Use a place value chart to organize your thinking. Remember:

• when you take $100 bill away, you regroup it as ten $10 bills 
• when you take $10 bill away, you group it as ten $1
• use addition to make sure your combination adds to $2799

$100	$10	$1
27	9	9
26	19	9
27	8	19
20	79	9

Use the cards from Monday to play "Many Possibilities".

Science

We reviewed the the different things a habitat must provide a plant and animal for it to survive. We also started our summary chart. Some of you were able to find the names of the different plants you took a picture of in our schoolyard. Remember, one of our "I can" statements is using critical thinking and research skills to learn about habitats. 

Learning Skills

Our first learning skill is RESPONSIBILITY. Please review the success criteria for responsibility using the pages at the beginning of your agenda. I will be on the lookout for responsible minions over the next week.

Reminders:

• Tomorrow is International Dot Day. Although we did not formally discuss this celebration, you are welcome to wear your dots tomorrow.
