Our school recently purchased some math kits 'Context for Learning' that promote the application of math in conjunction with a literacy component. First we read a book about organization and how running a small t-shirt business involves mathematical reasoning to keep organized. Student have been working in small groups to organize bundles of 10 and figure out what remains for their individual businesses. It has been a big learning curve for many of us...learning to work in groups, listening to various opinions, consolidating ideas, understanding there could be more than one way to solve a problem...and so much more!
Here are some pictures:
Our Class Dojo continues to motivate my students to do their very best work! Please consider logging on to your child's student account to see how they are doing. There is a new series of videos that have just come out April 4th. I really find they provide a lot of discussion for students and enable them to understand that we all struggle at some points in our lives. Learning resilience is the key to success.

Lastly a big shout out to our School Parent Council who purchased four chrome books each for our primary classrooms. We have used them so much and it really helps to keep our Daily Five reading centres up and running. Thanks so much !
