Week of Sept. 19-22

• I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Just a reminder that there will be no school on Friday, Sept. 23.
• Gr. 2-  I am sending home a letter tom. with the students explaining our at home reading routines and our spelling routines.  Please be sure to read through the letter and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at school or by email at klmullins@edu.pe.ca.  In a nutshell, the students will have a red duotang that I would like you to keep track of their nightly reading.  They will have their nightly reading books in their homework bag for the week.  The spelling list will always be in their agenda on Mondays and we will be working with these words throughout the week with a quiz on Friday (Thursday this week).
• Gr. 3 Math-  It is very important for the students to be reviewing their adding and subtracting facts to 18 each night.  The dollar store is a great spot to pick up flashcards to have at home for this nightly practice.  We are continuing to work on representing numbers to 1000 and comparing/ordering numbers to 1000 throughout the week.
• Gr. 4 Math-  Please have your children reviewing all adding and subtracting facts to 18 at night for their homework.  This is all that I am asking them to do for homework for now.  Mastery of these facts is so important before we start our adding/subtracting numbers to 10 000.    This week we are continuing to work on representing numbers to 10 000 and comparing/ordering numbers to 10 000.
• I will be sending home a letter with my gr.3 and 4 math students explaining a math site called xtramath.org.  This is a site I have the students on at school and it is for mastering all adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing facts.  It is free and is great practice.
• Have a wonderful week everyone!
