Tuesday March 29, 2016 WELCOME BACK :)

Important:
Attention all parents, we need newspapers and lots of them.  Please send in with your child any old newspapers you may have (not magazines).  We are using them for our sensational science presentation next week.  Thank you!  We also need parent volunteers for April 6th (Mrs. Leung-Chow) and 7th (Mrs. Daniels) Please let your teacher know if you are available.

Highlights:
Today we had a math lesson with Mr. Kinsman!  Wow it was great to see how many different ways we could make our favourite numbers.
We also talked about the Zones of Regulation with Mrs. Bosse.  We watched a funny video and discussed what it looks like to be in the blue, green, yellow and red zones.

Tell and Show:This week is nice and neat letter “N”.  Please come encourage your child to think of some original clues! Have fun!

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs
The students need to find their teacher's name and then find their own name... they should all remember their password. 
Have fun!!
