Hi Families,
Thank you to everyone who came to Student-Led conferences yesterday and today. It was so exciting to see how your children became leaders in their own learning, from teaching you about visualization of numbers through a Number Talk, to "juicy words" in their "Sometimes I Feel Like a..." writing. Proud students, proud teacher!
Two of the math games students demonstrated are excellent ways to support your child's number sense to 100 at home: Hundreds Board Connect 4 and Shut the Box. If you would like to try these at home, but forget the instructions, or how to support your child with efficient strategies, I've linked them here:
Shut the Box: https://nrich.maths.org/6074 (we do all variations in one game - face values, sums and differences)
Hundreds Board Connect 4: http://wrb.scdsb.on.ca/Documents/Connect%204.pdf (we don't switch colours like the instructions list)
As always, if you have any questions after you've sat and digested your child's conference, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Looking ahead to April, I wondered if anyone was available Wednesday, April 4th (morning or afternoon) to support the recording of our folktales. I promise all the techie, green-screen stuff will happen on my end, it will just be straight recording.
There will be field-trip opportunities this month for volunteering, please watch your emails for more information.
Have a restful and rejuvenating break everyone! See you on Tuesdsay, April 3rd!
Ms. Thomas
