Week of Jan. 25-29

• I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Hard to believe that we are heading into the last full week of January.  All of the students have been working really hard.
• Grade 3/4-  I would like to see all students practicing their facts nightly at home.  Grade 3's need to be working on +/- facts to 18.  Grade 4's should be practicing their multiplication and division facts to 81 on a nightly basis ( review of +/- will help as well).  The grade 3's have been working on measurement using cm and m.  We have been estimating the length of objects and have been measuring them as well.  The concept of perimeter has taught as well.  The grade 4s have been looking at the concept of area.  We will be having a quiz either this Friday or Monday (31st).
• Gr. 6's having been working on developing formulas for perimeter, area, and volume.  They would have had previous exposure to all of these concepts in earlier grades.  We have been working on what formula to use and when.  We will be having a quiz on Friday on this concept.  I will be offering an extra help class Tuesday at lunch for anyone feeling that they would like some help.
• Have a great week everyone!

Week of Jan. 11-15

• What a great first week back!  The students worked so hard and I am so very proud of them.
• Grade 3- Keep working on those adding and subtracting facts to 18 nightly.  We have been working on division and will be having a quiz on Tuesday, Jan. 12.  
• Grade 4- I would like to see the gr. 4's working on their multiplication facts to 81 on a nightly basis.  The hard work is paying off. I can see it!  Please don't forget to keep up the adding and subtracting facts as well.  The 4's quiz will cover their facts to 81 and the related division facts.  For example: 36 divided by 4 equals 9.  They should say to themselves "four times what equals 36?".  I will ask some 2 and 3 digit multiplication questions too.  We are starting division of larger numbers now too, but I won't be quizzing them yet.
• Grade 6-  The students have been working so hard on estimating, measuring, and drawing angles.  We will be having a quiz on this outcome on Tuesday, Jan. 12. I have been reminding everyone to keep practicing their facts at home.  
• Have a wonderful week everyone!
