Bus Cancellation Day

Please note, the buses are cancelled today. Be very careful outside, it's slippery and slushing and very wet. For our usual 6 students that attend- get ready for division drills! You can still wear your PJs if you wish. Just make sure you have waterproof layers overtop.

This Week

Since it is a short week with a lot of extra activities packed in, homework will be a short division basics focus once again. The week looks like this:

Tuesday 9:30 until 10:10- Skipping Workshop
11:15 - 11:45 Reading Buddies Program (we partner with Grade 1 and read out loud to them)

Wednesday- Crazy Hair day if you bring a Canned Food Item for Shepherds of Good Hope
                  - Boys in our class away at Handball Tournament

Thursday- Winter Outdoor Playday all morning.

Friday- Pajama Day if you bring a Canned Food Item
          -CGE Assembly and Special Guest Visitor

Valentines

This Friday is Valentine's Day. We are encouraging everyone to dress in reds, whites and pinks. It is also the kick off to our Kindness Week which will continue the following week. Next week is also Winter Carnival week/Spirit week; with Crazy Hair days, donation collections for Canned Food and Outdoor Play day. It's still busy this month. I thought January was too busy. Here we go again!

We will exchange Valentines in the mornings only for the junior grades. That way, students in two different classes do not have to buy cards for double classes. If you wish to sent items or cards, just worry about the morning group: we have 25 kids in our morning class.

Thanks!

Homework

Homework this week is beginning to practice division. Obviously, memorizing those times tables are crucial to division. If your child cannot remember those times tables, keep using flashcards, Youtube songs or games such as Monster Math or Sketch's World to practice.

We are starting off with division basic drills, moving towards small long division problems (and longer two- digit-by-one-digit long division). Students will be working towards earning their Ontario Divider's License this month! So practice that division!

Busy Week

This week has a lot packed into it! We had Gym Jam tennis today! Tuesday (tomorrow) we have skating at 10am, followed by the Basketball Free Throw competition at lunch. We have a priest visiting our class on Thursday, and skating again on Friday at 9am.

The photocopier is out of toner, so the homework sheets were not able to come home today. Perhaps tomorrow.
