Students had a blast cheering during the students vs teacher Floor Hockey Game.  Also, today was our last day of floor hockey in gym, students were happy to get to use all the skills they worked on this week in a game setting.

Today students used secret detective paint to reveal their mystery words. 

In Math, we are working to solve double digit addition (without regrouping) using the algorithm method and then checking their answers using manipulatives.  Your child will be sharing this strategy with you during the student led conferences next week.

There are many fun ways to practive spelling words.  I have sent home an email with some ideas and links.  Here are two of my favourites:  http://www.momto2poshlildivas.com/2012/10/75-fun-ways-to-practice-and-learn.html https://thisreadingmama.com/hands-on-spelling-activities/.  Today we used rainbow printing to practice the tricky words from the spelling lists.

In Gym, students are working on floor hockey shooting and passing skills.

We love library!  Thank you to Mrs. Caudron who always finds the best stories to read to us!!

Today your child is bringing home a copy of their Spell-A-Thon pre-test.  This assessment will show your child the words that he/she does not already know how to spell and will help to focus their studies over the next two weeks.  The Spell-A-Thon test will be on March 14.  Thank you in advance for your fundraising efforts!
