In math we learned about adding and subtracting decimals and played decimal war with cards to practice our place value. We finished our novel Thirst and will be doing a flipgrid review tomorrow. In writing we started typing out our good copies of our Wetland stories. In social studies we learned about the Cordillera region of Canada, tomorrow we will fill out a google form about the region. We learned that the Cordillera's main industry is forestry. Reminder to bring in your hot chocolate form if you haven’t already!
