Dear families,<\/p>\n

We are athletes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skating on Monday was SO much fun! I felt so proud of the improvements in just two sessions. Thank you again to our parent volunteer drivers for your generosity of time. We appreciate you!<\/p>\n

Hip Hop<\/strong><\/p>\n

This upcoming week, Hip Hop returns! Please have your child dress in comfortable clothing and shoes that will help them be more successful in dancing freely. We have Hip Hop lessons every day from Monday to Thursday. Once we find out what our theme colours are, I will let you know so they can wear those colours for our performances. Our dress rehearsal will be on Monday, March 11 in the morning and the final performance for families to enjoy after recess. All are welcome to attend that performance!<\/p>\n

We are mathematicians.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>We went back to review subtraction to check for understanding and also learned about compensating. This is when you adjust one number by adding to it to simplify the subtraction process. It is to make the equation easier to mentally compute. When you look at the example in the picture, you can see that it is easier to subtract 10 than 9.<\/p>\n

How to support at home:<\/em> Watch the YouTube video on Compensation<\/a> together. Then give your child some questions to practice to ensure they have a solid understanding.<\/p>\n

Continue to have your child practice addition and subtraction facts to increase fluency and accuracy to work towards memorization of all facts. The time they invest in memorizing will surely make a difference in their intermediate grades. This goes a long way in helping them feel successful when learning about computations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Thank you for your time!<\/p>\n
