Math

Math notebooks be due on Thursday this week.

Problem Solving is due on Friday.

***MATHLETICS

I know Mrs. Wallace and other intermediate teachers at Tyee have used Mathleticsin the past for consolidation, homework and diagnostic purposes.  This year, if our class decides to go ahead with accounts, I would be using Mathletics to reinforce concepts learned through the Albanesi program.  Mathletics would be a work cycle option when all work is completed and also an option for reinforcement at home. For more information about Mathletics visit www.mathletics.ca to view the website and see comments from parents and schools.  I am trying to gauge whether this is of interest for parents of students in division 3 this year. If you would like your child to have a Mathletics account please email me at hlangille@vsb.bc.ca before September 30th. 

Language

Spelling and spelling tests will be due on Friday, as usual.

Our first Writer’s Workshop assignment started last week.   The students have been paired and will conduct an interview of a student they are less familiar with.  This interview will lead to a piece of writing that will be then shared with the rest of the class.

This Writer’s Workshop assignment will be mostly completed in class (depending on time management skills).  The due date is October 13th.

Culture

This week the students came up with creative dramas to showcase their knowledge of the Montessori Great Stories of the Universe and of Life.  We began studying cells and the students were introduced to their cell poster project.  This project will carry into this week and is due on September 29th.
