Merry Christmas!

• I just wanted to make a quick note saying I did not send the gr. 3/4 quiz home yet.  Between Xmas Concert, Amazing Race, and the last day of school, I did not get to see the 3/4's. I didn't think it would be a good idea to send them home on the last day.  I will send them home the first day back in January!  
• Happy holidays and have a great New Year!

Merry Christmas!

• Gr.3/4 -We are continuing work with division and will continue into the new year.  Please sign and return the quiz that went home with the students.
• Gr. 6- We have started to look at estimating and measuring angles.  We will continue these concepts along with drawing angles in the new year.
• I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to 2016!

Week of December 7-11

• I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  The countdown to Christmas is on!
• The grade 3/4's will be having a quiz on Friday.  This will include:  Gr.3- adding and subtracting facts to 18, and multiplication (drawing equal groups pictures, arrays, and repeated addition) up to products of 36.  We are working through division, but I will not be assessing that outcome on Friday.  The 4's will be assessed on multiplication facts to 81, I have been asking them to study their facts each night.  Also, they will be completing 2 and 3 digit multiplication by 1 digit. I do not assign a lot of math homework, so I do expect that the students are taking 10 min each night to stay on top of adding, subtracting, and multiplication facts.
• Grade 6's will be having a quiz on Friday (Dec. 11). This will include multiplication and division of decimals.  It is very important for students to be reviewing math facts each night.  We have noticed in class that sometimes our adding/subtracting facts cause us little errors, so reviewing these are very helpful too.
• Have a great week everyone.
