Madison's News: Hello, This will be a short post because we have been busy with all kinds of extra events due to the season. We have a short curricular post for you: Science - We are wrapping up our Light and Shadows Unit. Make sure you study for the test on Thursday.  Please remember the marking scheme will be: I - independent, N - needs a little support and B - beginning to demonstrate knowledge of the concepts. Social - There is no more Current Events until after Christmas Math - We are continuing to work on Multiplication using arrays and mental math. LA - We are still working with Mrs. Fleming on writing.  When you are writing a story, "show it don't tell what it is" is what we are learning.

Hopefully you get a new book over the break that you can use for our challenge! Jada'
