T.W.A.S. January 20-24

This was a great week at school - the highlight for all was undoubtably Inline Skating!  I was amazed at how they took to it!  Even after they'd take a big fall they'd still get up smiling!  Each and every student made incredible progress throughout the week, whether they were brand new to the sport or they challenged themselves to learn new tricks and skills.  Thank you so much to our Marlborough Parent Council for providing this opportunity to our students!

We also were very excited to learn the name of our England pen pals and to write our introductory letter to them!  Almost all students typed their letter on Google Drive and their homework this weekend was to share their work with you and do any final edits.  We will be putting these in the mail this week!

All math groups are now finished with multiplication and division and will be moving into fractions and decimals next week.  Keep practicing those basic multiplication and division facts at home! Ask me if you'd like any games sent home to work on these!  Grade 4's need to know up to 7x7 automatically and Grade 5's need to know up to 9x9.

We also spent some time learning to play Chess with Ms. Aubrey.  If your child wants to be in Chess Club, the forms are due Monday.
