Literacy
We will finish reading our Olympic book on Thursday. Quiz to follow. If you are on share a book for the week, PLEASE HAVE YOUR BOOK AT SCHOOL!

Math
Today we practiced estimating sums and differences. Remember the key words that tell you whether to add or subtract.

Here is a review of rounding "rules" (rounding rap):

Remember as long as you can explain your reasoning, there are many possible estimates. For example, estimate the difference between 867 and 239. 

You could estimate by rounding this way: 900 - 200 = 700 or 

you could also estimate by rounding this way:  850 - 250 = 600

When you estimate you make friendly numbers (numbers that are easy to add or subtract in your head).

Gymnastics

We had a very entertaining afternoon watching gymnastics routines. Congratulations to all team members. Everyone performed magnificently. I will be with the team at the gymnastics meet tomorrow. You will be assigned to a class for most of the morning and part of the afternoon. Assignments to work on:

• Bell work 
• Olympics scrapbook
• Pop art
• Social Studies mind map

Remember you are guests in another class. Ask the teacher if he or she needs any help if you do not understand a task you were given.

Reminders

• Gymnastics team members please come to school with your green shirt ready to participate. You may wear sweatpants / sweatshirt etc. over top of your gym clothes. Don't forget your shorts / tights that your team is wearing.
