September 21-24

 Hello Room 17 Families,

Another great week now in full swing! Our class has been doing grammar review lessons to better understand how to create, enhance and improve the flow of a complete sentence! Ask your student what a subject and a predicate is and see if they can explain it!

Our math class is always a highlight of the day. Today we played Strategy Squares using a 3 digit multiplicand and a single digit multiplier. This is an easy game that you might like to play at home. You only need some dice and a piece of paper. We also did review on pattern rules and used a strategy to determine the pattern rule in complex number patterns.  Ask your student "What did the triangle say to the circle?" Hopefully parents will enjoy Ms. Mumford's math humor!!

In physical education class, we played Ms, Mumford's favorite game: teacher dodgeball! So. Much. FUN!!

Please remember that Friday, September 25th is a PD day and our class virtual open house will be posted for you to watch on the LBS you tube channel! For families new to grade 5/6, you will have a glimpse at what your child's day looks like. Please remember that if you have any questions or concerns about the start up of the school year, I am happy to have a phone meeting when you have time and I will return emails asap!!

Mark your calendars: Student Photo Day on Tuesday, September 29. There will not be a class photo this year.

Have an awesome evening!

Ms. Mumford
