Homework

If the homework math is too tricky this week, leave it incomplete and we will finish it next week. Our class did not get to the section in patterning that we aimed for this week. Feel free to try it out anyway, if you wish! (No points docked for those who don't!)

Raz Kids!

Hello all! Raz Kids is up and running in our class. A newsletter will be coming home on Monday. Feel free to explore it earlier. The website is https://www.raz-kids.com

Our class code is: ksturgeon0  (that is a zero).

Students will be having assignments in class and as homework to complete in this program.

Parents can be linked in via email, if you wish to review progress.

Have fun reading!

Happy Back To the Future Day!

If you are a fan of the popular Back to the Future movies, today is the day that Marty McFly came to the future! Interestingly enough, that movie predicted a lot of things that actually are currently existing! CBC has a cover story about it today. Here is a fun list of what ended up existing (or NOT) on Wednesday, October 21 2015:

General News

IEP's came home for the 18 students that have an IEP in our class. 

Please sign and return as soon as possible. They are in large yellow envelopes.

Pizza day is tomorrow for those who ordered.

Log in to Prodigy often to sharpen math skills!

PICTURE DAY is Thursday! Dress for success!!

Info and accounts for Reading Homework: RAZ KIDS coming home soon. Watch the agenda for info!

Prodigy Class Code

A few of you asked our class code for Prodigy! If you need it, here it is: (Capital letters!)

2XX8KB

Thank you to those parents who linked in to see your child's progress!

Stuck in the house?

A few students thought they were stuck in their houses during Prodigy. To get out of your little house, click the map icon near the bottom!

Prodigy

Prodigy letters have been sent home. Check that your username and password works/still works! Assignments have been entered. There are approximately 12 questions hiding in Prodigy to find and answer. They are rounding, place value based. They will be part of next week's homework and due by next Friday. I check Thursday nights to see which students have not completed the online assignment and for who I have no digital report on. Prodigy sends me each child's score and ranking. Some students with no online access can work in class.

Have fun (and learn)!

Prodigy Ready for our new class!

    Our new math class should be up and running for Prodigy Math Gaming. This is a wonderful international site to improve math skills through questions that are directly aligned to the Ontario Math Curriculum. A new parent note will be coming home this week for your child's free account login details. Parents are encouraged to follow the steps to LINK IN and see their child's progress. Students that were in my previous math class should be keeping the same username and password. Students who left my class still have access to their account.

Have fun!


Learn Math skills!

Prodigy

Hello everyone! For students in my previous math class, as well as those who remained, you will have to be patient while trying Prodigy. Since we have to create a new math class, old accounts may have to be wiped out, and passwords re-created. There are also no assigned pages right now. Feel free to keep using it for fun until further notice. A letter will come home to all my math students about any changes. Thanks!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Well, the big move has happened! We have a different class arrangement beginning tomorrow, and I am sad to see many faces leave my room. We are also welcoming many new faces. To the new families; welcome!

NEW? My beginning of the year question sheet about your child will be coming home right away tomorrow, as will my September Newsletter, so you have the same information as the other parents had.

Your child will be given a Prodigy math account shortly, for homework and in-class fun.

We use Class Dojo to track Learning skills. These accounts will be sent home soon as well.

Please check this blog often for information about our class!

Our class is now a Grade 4/5 in the morning with 25 students having French, science/art/gym, and then a straight Grade 4 of 28 students studying Math and Language/Religion.
