We are busy at work making great progress in 2018. We have had our second Curling session and we'd like to thank all parents who have been able to help us. Two sessions remain, the next is on February 13th.
In Math, we are working on addition strategies, which will be followed in a couple of weeks by subtraction strategies. Please continue to review single digit equations to 20. We are really looking for them to be done orally to support the mental Math process. So there are no sheets, spend some spare minutes calling out equations and encouraging students to make connections to some of the strategies send home (doubles, doubles +1 etc.). If your child seems to be confident with single digit addition, please take some time to practice subtraction from 20.
We are currently working on an English project on Winter, a dolphin rescued and followed by the media for several years now. In French, we are reading a class novel and are busy writing and reading daily. Students have been making great progress this week on their word lists. Thank you for reviewing their words at home.
Please check out the Important Dates section of the website. Also, a reminder that a few students are not arriving with snow pants, hats or mitts. Please remind them to come prepared daily for both outside play and gym which is held outdoors when the weather permits.
