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.
