We are learning about place value. Ask your child how many ones make a ten, how many tens make a hundred and how many hundreds make a thousand. We use this jingle to help us remember.
We are working on setting routines and expectations with the whole class, and it would beneficial to discuss this at home too. Ask your child what it means to use your IMAT skills. IMAT skills are skills we use to solve problems between students. If someone is bothering you, try using your IMAT skills. I- Ignore. Ignore what the person is doing for 60 seconds. If they do not stop... M- Move away. Find a new spot to sit or play. If they follow you and the problem continues... A- Ask them to stop. They may be bothering you on purpose, or they may have thought it was a game and didn't know you didn't like it- now they know. If the problem continues... T- tell. Tell the teacher, supervisor, or other adult about the problem and they will help you solve it. Have a wonderful evening!
Over the next few weeks, your child will be learning about estimating, measuring, and comparing lengths using centimetres, metres, yards and inches. To reinforce the concepts your child is learning at school, you and your child can work on some at-home activities such as these: • Ask your child to show you how a fingertip can be used to estimate 1 centimeter or a hand span can be used to estimate 10 centimeters (1 decimeter). Use these known amounts to estimate lengths of objects with your child. • Your child has learned to estimate 1 meter using his or her steps. Have your child use a metre stick to measure the number of steps you take to travel 1 m. Then you and your child can use your “meter steps” to estimate distances around your home. Tomorrow is Fun Lunch. Students will eat in the classroom and then play outside. Thank you to all our volunteers that help make this possible.
Hi families, Tomorrow is Activity Day! We have a number of stations planned and I know students are very excited about this day. Please ensure your student comes to school prepared to be outdoors for a few hours. It is recommended students bring a hat, water bottle, and apply sunscreen prior to coming to school.
