It's been a little while since our last update. Valentines Day was a success and lots of fun, thanks to all parents who sent in fabulous treats, home baking and cards for the students to hand out. Sadly, we forgot to take photos of the class enjoying their afternoon.
In math, we are finishing learning long division. Students will be taking their Ontario Divider's Licence tests this week to determine whether they have a learner's permit, G1 or G2. Their licence is personalized and looks like a real licence! It will gain them access to special treats.
In addition, in math we are moving on towards fractions and decimals.This also requires memorizing of times tables. Your child should be reviewing them nightly, with either flashcards or the internet sites listed on this blog page. As we move towards reducing fractions or making fractions with common denominators, students who know their times tables tend to find this simple and fast. Those who don't sometimes begin to struggle. We want everyone on board and succeeding! Please let me know via the agenda, if you wish to have extra multiplication drill sheets sent home for weekends. I have already issued a few extra help duotangs to students! They are a big help.
