Math
Today we talked about expressing metre and centimetre measurements as decimal hundredths. For example:
Four students today jumped from a standing position in class. They jumped 99 cm, 1 m 28 cm, 1 m 45 cm and 1 m 52 cm. How else can we express these measurements:

We can express them in centimetres and metres.
1m = 100 cm
1 cm = 0.01 m

99 cm = 0.99 m
1 m 28 cm = 128 cm = 1.28 m
1 m 45 cm = 145 cm = 1.45 m
1 m 52 cm = 152 cm = 1.52 m

Here's Bill Nye explaining why a metre is as long as it is.

Here are some tricky ones:

Social Studies

I think everyone understand how to read a climograph. Hooray! Most students are finished their conclusions. We will pick up Social Studies in the new year.

We have many students who are leaving personal items at school each evening. Please check the lost and found for missing articles. We are still looking for a pair of North Face black snow pants. Check at home to make sure you have not accidentally taken them home.
