Arianna can fix a pattern mistake

Arianna was busy translating patterns.  She was trying to make an AAB pattern but quickly realized something was wrong.  As you can see in this video she was quick to identify the problem and fix it.  This is part of our outcomes in patterning; correcting pattern errors.  Way to go Arianna!

Book Orders Due Tomorrow

Just a reminder that any book orders are due tomorrow, September 18.  Also a reminder that students are encouraged to cut out a picture of their favourite book from the book order and bring it into school.  I will draw for a book that will go into our classroom library.  In this way students will be sure to read the books that they want most during class time.  This is a free initiative and is made possible by your support of classroom book orders!  Thank you!
