Math
Review for both grades in class. Grade 4 should complete Mid-Chapter Review #1,2,4, 5 and Skills Bank #5 or Chapter Review #3. A little confusion with the last question. They are both similar so it's not important which one you complete.
Unit Test on Wednesday, December 16th
Social Studies
Today we reviewed the expectations for the test. We discussed:
- the negative effects of the use of pesticides in the city and idling cars for more than two minutes
- the causes of child poverty in Canadian cities and the needs of children living in poverty; food, clothes, participation in sports/activities, affordable housing; some suggestions for helping with food included collecting food for food banks and hamper programs, school breakfast programs
- the purpose of the World Climate Summit and why leaders from around the world attended
- the importance of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and what countries can do to help
Please look at the links from previous posts for additional information about the Government Test TOMORROW.

- Bring your material tomorrow to create your animal. Bring a plastic container to store it in over the holidays.
