Today was a counting marathon!  We have been practicing our counting daily for the past month, but today we took it to a whole new level - backwards!  Grade 1s are required to count by 1, 2s, 5s, and 10s.  The Grade 2s are doing the same, but both forward and backward!  Students are bringing home their counting pattern books to keep at home for nightly review.  We played a dice/counting game that your child can teach you at home tonight.  

During MindUp today, we explored relaxation meditation.  We are enjoying our mindful education and encourage you to ask your child about the daily lessons.  The calming and mindfulness techniques are things that are beneficial for both children and adults alike.
