 Hi parents,

We had a great day today, just the kind of day we deserved after a wonderful Winter Concert.

We raised $700 for AARCS!

In the morning, we had our Spelling quiz, most of which I was able to mark and hand back today, and we went outside for gym. 

We did Daily LA, and played the full class math game "Classroom of Doom", which now officially features multiplication. 

The students worked in groups with I-pads to learn as many French words as they could that are related to Winter and the holidays. 

We talked about the 'arrays' strategy, which can be used to solve multiplication problems. This basically involves using columns and rows to represent multiplication equations.It is a great way to represent multiplication problems because it lends itself nicely to the concept of 'area', which we will be covering later in the year!

Stay tuned for next week's spelling words (the last spelling words of 2022!) and have a nice weekend!

Zac
