Conversion


In measurement, we are now learning to convert between units. This is a helpful diagram for students to refer to.

Math tests

Multiplication/divison tests are being handed back today. Please review with your son/daughter this weekend. A lot of the feedback (especially for the Thinking/Communication section) are questions that could have been answered to achieve a level 4.
