The students have been working on their recounts last week and this week.  We are at the stage of proofreading and editing them.  In Math, the grade one students learned how to measure things when it is not a perfect line.  Ask your child what strategy they can use.  The grade two students worked with metre sticks.  Ask your child to order from smallest to largest the units millimetre, centimetre, and metre.  If you want to challenge your child ask your child how many millimetre in one centimetre or how many centimetres in a metre.  Our next concpet in Measurement will be Area for both the grade one and two students and the grade two students will also learn about perimeter.

The grade one students are creating structures of the local community.  Ask your child what important structure they are creating for our community and which community helper may be associated with that structure.
