We asked students to continue reading over spring break. At least 30 minutes each and everyday. Nothing improves reading, writing and spelling like reading. Please visit the library and/or bookstore.
Math - please give your child an opportunity to practice money math. Especially grade 5 students. Students can practice counting coins and making change - for example, the candy costs 50 cents - you pay with a $2 - how much change do you get back? How many different ways could you get the change back? We are really working on mental math skills - being able to round, estimate and then compute the answer in your head. A difficult skill but in reality most of the math we do on a daily basis is in our heads!!!
Have a great spring break - limit the screen time and make sure the kids get outside and play. Yesterday all the kids had a tonne of fun playing at Steveston Park.
Thanks
Mrs. Wallace
