Math – No homework

In math, we are currently working on addition. We have reviewed 0 + a number, a number + 1 and are now reviewing doubles.

Doubles: 

0 + 0 = 0

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

3 + 3 = 6

4 + 4 = 8

5 + 5 = 10

6 + 6 = 12

7 + 7 = 14

8 + 8 = 16

9 + 9 = 18

10 + 10 = 20

 

Reading/Literacy Instruction

Last year, a new strategy in teaching literacy and reading was put into place in our district. The focus is on teaching students’ phonics/sound strategies to help promote reading. Because of this, reading is no longer taught in the same way parents are used to seeing. Students will continue receive nightly/weekly reading as part of their homework, but they will be choosing levelled books they are interested in, rather than bringing home books that are “their level”. I encourage all students to read at least 3 nights a week, they may also choose a book from home as long as they are reading.

 

Have a good week!
