1. Please read 30 minutes every day at home.
2. Thank you to all the families that were available to come to our Literacy Night, yesterday!
3. We are currently looking at Place Value in math (Grade 5 - will look at numbers up to One Million and grade 6s will look at numbers greater than One Million.) We want to ensure we understand the place and value of large numbers prior to looking at operations involving numbers.
So, over the next few weeks you can do a few things to feel ready for operations - practice your basic multiplication facts!!! Grade 5 - please practice your basic facts up to 10x10 and grade 6s please practice your basic facts up to 12x12.
Here are a few resources to try at home:
If you love music and rhyming - these YouTube videos can be fun and helpful -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcydVovd1PlRmrY770E7BLRqu8OXpYhkE
There are also apps you can purchase - www.mathrockx.com is one example.
4. Book order forms are due back to Rm. 6 by November 7th, 2018.
