Today in Math the students continued to review Whole Numbers. Today we used our Mathletics accounts to do so. Did you know that you can complete practice work at home that is aligned with all of our units through students Mathletics? It is a great way to get in extra practice. I typically assign several activities to students throughout the unit that they can then complete at school during Math Centre time or at home. Check it out at home. 

We also watched "The BFG" today. We finished reading this book by Roald Dahl awhile ago, however, we hadn't had the opportunity to watch it yet. It was nice to be able to do so today. There were a lot of differences between the book and the movie (as there usually is), but we still enjoyed it a lot.

Congratulations to Teona and Aayan. There poems inspired by Canada's national parks were selected by the Regional Municipality as winners in the "Words in Motion" contest. Be on the lookout for Teona and Aayan's poems on Wood Buffalo transit buses and shelters in the near future. 

Have a great break! I'll see you all in March!
