Homework and Times Tables!

Homework this week is a focus on the 6 times table, especially for Grade 4. Times table memorizing come with repetition at home, and should be mastered by Grade 5.

As we creep closer to the BIG units: Fractions, Division and Decimals, marks often drop because of inability to see times table patterns.

Grade 5 has 6 times table as review (they should be memorized by now!) and extra textbook work.

Our class goal is to have everyone able to complete 50 times table questions in under 3 minutes.
We do speed and accuracy tests 3 to 4 times a week on our focus table (last week 4's, this week 6's).

Tuesday is busy!

As we are not in school Monday to send another reminder: try not to forget SKATING is right away on Tuesday! 10 am.

Crazy Hair Day is also on Tuesday, to kick off our school Spirit Week! Check the school website for all other days (or the newsletter!).

Miss.Sturgeon has the flu! Homework news too.

Miss. Sturgeon has the flu. Not a head cold, but influenza. Thank goodness she got her flu shot, so the duration should be only a few days instead one to two weeks! She is starting to feel a tiny bit better already and her fever is coming down. It's just that killer cough! Be sure to do extra hand washing, as it is obviously in our school now!

Homework will simply be a spelling sheet to practice, coming home Tuesday evening. The supply teacher should be sending it out. Practice on Mathletics and Prodigy to get those times tables speeds up!
