Good afternoon, everyone.
A few updates and/or changes to make to my last post — May continues to be filled with surprises! 😉
Students were sent home with their Multiplication tests last Friday. All did very well and should be proud to show you their results.
We have begun our Multi-digit division unit. Many students find this one more challenging and I let them know that we would be taking our time practicing these new skills and strategies. If your child is struggling in the next few days, please encourage them to come to “Math Club” at noon this Wednesday. You will notice their homework often reinforces strategies beyond the traditional algorithms we learned as students. If at any time you have any questions, feel free to pop by my classroom and I would be more than happy to explain them to you, too! Also, you may check out the Math page on our classroom blog for more tips/games to help your child at home.
“The Big Race” for our Vehicles that Move has once again been rescheduled. Due to field trips and gym availability, it will now be held in the gym Monday, May 9th at 11:00am with Mr. Mannix’s class. If students are tweaking their cars at home, they will need to be returned to school that morning.
The time for our Kananaskis Outreach Plant Play has changed to 9am in the gym, Tuesday, May 24th
The time for our “Thankful Thursday” Music celebration has been changed to 1030am, Thursday, May 26th in the gym.

We still need one more parent volunteer to join us on our Banff Centre visit Tuesday, May 10th 1-3pm. This helps us ensure there is one adult with each group of students while in an artist’s studio. Please let me know if you can join us.

Wishing you a wonderful week.
