Weekend Math Challenges

Hello Parents,

Well fall is here and the days will be getting chilly! That means less time outside for the kids and usually more complaints of boredom right?

If your child is looking for a math challenge, check out their online classroom (Google Classroom) for weekend challenges. They aren't easy and are usually multi-step. They may need your help. I always ask that they include their calculations and show their work.

Have fun!

ROBOTS/TECHNOLOGY/CODING IN EDUCATION

This year your child will be participating in lessons that use Makey Makey, Beebots, Dash and Dot and Sphero. Accessing the curriculum using robots allows the students to experience learning in a new and engaging way. Time to get EXCITED about learning!

Our first week together was a success! The students are starting to get a handle on the routines and have met our virtual student Google Home (ask your child to explain). I have also given each child "jitter glitter" to help fight off any anxiety.

Just a couple parent items:

*please check agenda daily - students are to copy the entire agenda board daily so you should never see an empty agenda space in the evening. Once they are finished the item, they are to cross it off. So, any items that are not crossed off is what you should see in their backpack for homework.

*please send coloured pencils - crayons are okay for some things, but not precise for maps, arts etc.

*We are starting math on Monday....please ask you child to see their work regularly to make sure they are on track and feeling confident.


*If you need anything, issues or questions arise, please call me between 8:30-9:00.

Thanks and see you at Meet the Teacher.
