February 2

Happy Groundhog's Day.  From what we learned today it sounds like there is still going to be 6 more weeks of winter :(

Our new CAFE strategy today is "Make a picture or movie in your head".  Please ask your child why this is an important comprehension strategy.

In math we practiced applying our strategies that we learned from 2 digit addition to 3 digit numbers.  Here is an example:

325+265=
300+200 = 500
20+60= 80
5+5=10

500+80 +10 = 590

Please work on this at home and have your child represent their thinking.  This is not the only strategy that works.  I am in favour of children developing their own strategies as long as they work.

Here are the names of the kids in our class in case you plan on sending Valentines:
Braydon, Charlotte, Gracelyn, Lana, Jaelyn, Riley, Autumn, Kate, Caitlynn, Hope, Caiden, Landen, Sabeeh, Tyson, Ciara, Genavieve, Kennedy, Aron, Addison, Owen, Elly, Scarlett, Cameron, Maiya and Elise.

No School tomorrow.

Have a wonderful weekend!
