Dear Division 11 Families,<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you are enjoying the beautiful snow outside! My son was so excited that we built a family of snowmen even before breakfast. I can\u2019t wait to hear about all the fun the students had in the snow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bowling\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We had so much fun bowling on Tuesday! A huge thank you to our family volunteers for driving our students and supporting them during the field trip. Our students were so supportive of one another, cheering each other on. Even those who were brand new to bowling said they can\u2019t wait to do it again!<\/p>\n

We wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year and good luck in the Year of the Snake! In Social Studies, our students have been learning about New Year traditions around the world. On Wednesday, our students had the opportunity to learn more about Lunar New Year. They rotated through various stations, participating in fun activities such as using chopsticks to pick up small objects, learning to write Chinese characters, and playing a Korean game. Thank you to all our students for sharing their experiences and knowledge with us, and a special thank you to Mrs. W.R. for planning such a fun afternoon!<\/span><\/p>\n

Math<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our students have been working on double-digit addition and subtraction. We\u2019ve been focusing on understanding the concepts rather than just memorizing the algorithm. This week, they\u2019ve been using counters to show subtraction with regrouping. I\u2019ve attached a video<\/a> that explains this process so you can support them at home as well. Developing a strong understanding of this concept is crucial, as it lays a solid foundation for future number concepts and helps them apply their knowledge to more complex math problems later on.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the week, we moved into 3-digit subtraction too and subtraction across zeros!<\/p>\n

How to support at home:\u00a0<\/em>Practice subtraction with regrouping together. Ask your child to explain their understanding. In math, one of the curricular competencies is to:<\/p>\n
