Math Homework:

Gr. 4s: p. 44 # 1, 2 (Venn Diagrams) (Th)

Gr. 5s: p. 27 # 1-9 (M)

Note: The Grade 4s are learning their times tables. This takes a lot of practice at home. Today I tested them on their 2 times tables (from 2 x 0 up to 2 x 12) in a timed test (2:00 minutes) where to pass no more than 3 mistakes are allowed. I'll have those marked for next Math class (Thursday). If your child gets 22/25 or better, they will have passed the test of rapid recall of the 2 times tables. If they aren't fast enough, or not accurate enough, they can retake the test no sooner than 1 week from Thursday if they and you feel they are ready. No point in retaking the test unless they have improved their speed or accuracy or both. I'll keep track of individual progress.

Just so you know, the tests look like this:

And on another note, the class was so happy to hear that Amy was selected in 1st Place in her age group at the Lynn Valley's Got Talent event on Saturday! Congratulations to Amy and her family, and to the other contestants too. Amy was supported by family and friends as you can see from the pictures below. Wow. 1st Place!!!! What a voice!


Amy and supporters!
