Class Basket for Jingle Mingle Looking Pretty Empty :(

I have been asked to give a gentle reminder. The theme for our class is Games Night.  Money, Toys Are Us gift cards, board and card games, popcorn, chips etc. would all be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your support.

The class basket is now overflowing with games etc.  Well done Division 5 Parents!

Time to Start Practising Times and Division Facts


Time to Learn Our Times Facts and Division Facts Too

Every Thursday starting soon the students will have a multiplication and division facts quiz.  We are starting soon with 2X up to 2X10 and ÷ 2 up to 20 ÷ 2.  Your child will write what she/he needs to study in the planner on Mondays.

Help your child by having him/her
1.  skip count forward and backwards ie. 0, 2, 4 ... 20 and 20, 18, 16 ... 0
2.  draw a clock (your child can explain) and say the facts in order then out of order.  Time him to show the improvement.
3.  use flash cards
4.  use multiplication and division apps (math drills lite has been recommended by a parent)
5.  complete the handouts I provide
6.  continue to review the tables

Thank you for your support!

A Visit from a Librarian

A librarian will be visiting our class Wednesday November 6th to talk about the services for pleasure reading and research offered at the North Vancouver City Library.  You will (hopefully) find a registration form in your child's planner pocket on Monday.  Please complete the registration form if you would like your child to receive a library card, and have your child return it Tuesday.  The librarian will bring the cards Wednesday.

Thank you.
