Buddy Reading - Students read with their little buddies, and practiced their coaching techniques.

Book exchange - Students are encouraged to choose at least one fiction.

Social Studies - Government cont.  - We looked a bit closer at Canada's Government, especially at the Federal level.

Math - We spent quite a bit of time on this today, marking / reviewing our worksheets on converting fractions and decimals.  *The main thing to remember is to make the fraction something out of 10, 100, 1000 (Denominator = a multiple of ten).  Then converting to a decimal is straight-forward.
Example: 1/2 = 5/10 = 0.5
                1/4 = 25/100 = 0.25

We will be continuing this concept for quite some time, creating equivalent fractions and converting.

P.A.C.  delivered Subway lunch for those who ordered it!  Many thanks to the volunteers!

Have a wonderful autumn weekend!
