Monday, November 15

Hi parents,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

We had a good day back at school, but like most Mondays, I don't have much to report. This week there is even less than usual since we are continuing to work on the same spelling words.

In the morning, we exchanged books at the library, worked on journal writing, and did a multiplication / skip-counting worksheet. Grade 2 students learned about skip-counting by 10's, and multiplying by 10's, while Grade 3 students learned about skip-counting and multiplying by 4's.

There is a whole series of Scratch Garden videos that are really helpful for learning skip-counting, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to how much you practice. Hopefully these make practicing a bit more fun though (I'm not going to post them all here but they're all on Youtube).

In the afternoon we worked in Literacy Groups, went to Gym and Music, and did some mindfulness. 

Students received Flyers for our school's Book Fair, which is happening near the end of November. If you're not already overwhelmed with Scholastic promotions, please consider buying a book as a portion of the proceeds will go towards our school.

Have a nice day,

Zac
