We are also looking at other graphs and asking questions and writing true statements about the data presented. Next week on Friday, December 9th there will be a Show What You Know for this unit. Our next unit will be 2-Dimensional shapes!

Winter Electives
Dear Parents:
We are in need parent volunteers to help with supervision of our Winter Electives at the Aurora Dome on Tuesday, January 10th, and on Monday, January 16th. Parents will not be supervising a set group of students. Instead, parents will be supervising a set station alongside school staff, as our students rotate through. If you are able to assist on both days, please email Mrs. Vian at lindsay.vian@yrdsb.ca. Please note that since volunteers will be working with groups of students, they must have a Vulnerable Sector Check completed through the York Region Police well in advance of the trip. A Vulnerable Sector Check form can be picked up from our school’s office.
