Hello everyone! Just a reminder to all parents, that there is no school this upcoming Friday and Monday. Also please be sure to send the students in correct uniform after the holiday, which means no more polo’s. Long sleeve shirts with sweater are now the appropriate uniform attire. Take a look at our day today;

Math

Grade 1

The grade one works on another speed drill today. The purpose of this drill is for students to practice addition and subtraction in a timely manner. This also allows me to see which students need to work on these skills. They will then review counting pennies, fact families to 5, counting to 50, reading a graph and comparing 2 numbers. This will be done in their arithmetic notebooks.

Homework: A1 – pg.  29-32

Grade 2

Students will continue to work on their addition and subtraction skills. They will also focus on telling time, and the place value system.

Homework: A2 – pg. 22-23
