Gr.41 Sept.30-Oct.4

Group 41
Thursday update: I am sending home the first "50 equations in 5 minutes" x-table test tonight. Please use this as a guide to determine how much studying should be done. A completed test should be attainable in Grade 4. Students should have the facts memorized. For those who are struggling, start off with the 2,3,4 x-tables. When success has been achieved, move on to 5,6,7 and so on. 5-10 minutes a night is all it takes! The next test will be Thursday October 17. As of the end of October, they will count for a percentage of the Math Reasoning mark. Practice orally, use online computer games (links on Blog), flash cards or iPad apps.

Finally a full week with Group 41 J Scholastic due Wednesday October 9.
Terry Fox Run is Friday morning! Please be sure you have sent in the Permission Slips. The donations are due Friday.
Please send in a set of ear phones, we need them for class activities with the iPads. Also remember the disinfecting wipes.

Use the EDMODO link on my blog to learn about this wonderful educational site I am using with my students. Please register using the PARENT CODE found on their page.
