Today we learned a new math game, In the Dump, that focuses on two math concepts: subitizing (the ability to 'see' a small amount of objects and know how many there are without counting) and adding. This is a game that can easily be played at home using dominoes and cards.
Upcoming Field Trips
- Sept. 23 1pm - Grade 1 Fall Walk - Please be sure you have completed your child's permission form on line and that the volunteers have completed their Volunteer Form. Any questions about permission or forms can be directed to Mrs. Horrocks in the office. Thank you to Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Tatchell.
- Sept. 30 1pm - Terry Fox Walk - We will meet in the gym for a short presentation and then head outside to begin our walk. We will have all students walk this year with their class. Upon returning to the school, each student will get a hot dog, apple, and granola bar. We encourage students to bring their own reusable water bottle. I am currently seeking volunteers to join us on this event, please email me if you are interested.
