Week 11

 It was great to see many families at Parent Teacher Conferences. Speaking with you made me feel supported in the hard works we are doing this year. Thank you all for your insight and questions. In addition, it was very sweet for many families and students to buy books for our class library!

One question that came up was about getting resources to help with our new math program. Please be on the look out for an informal reference guide that will go home beginning with each new unit. Your child will have it in the math homework book. The important lessons are laid out with a strategy given step by step. The current unit is coming to an end this week and there will be a math test on Tuesday. Please keep an eye out for a study sheet that can be used to review for the upcoming test. Below is a class chart for a multiplication problem involving algebra (at least that was how we learned it when we were in Middle School) that appears on the test prep page from Thursday's homework.





Here's what is happening next week: 
  • The Unit Three math test will be given on Tuesday. The unit two test was graded a while ago but  held onto for parent teacher conferences. I will send home both test at the end of next week. Thank you for your patience!
  • I will be out on Wednesday to attend a workshop at Teacher's College. 
  • There will be a Music Assembly on Wednesday. 
  • We will begin Unit 4 in Math. This unit will focus on division facts and dividing larger factors with a single digit divisor. 
Have a great weekend!
