My apologies for the time that has passed since my last post.  I have had to be away several days over the past couple of weeks.

In math we have finished our patterning unit and started a number sense unit.  So far this week we have been working on improving the recall of simple addition facts by playing card games, using the Ipads, and completing timed math challenges.  We have also begun adding 2 digit numbers with, and without, regrouping.  We will continue this unit over the next couple of weeks.

In language we have been writing letters, making inferences, and participating in literacy centres.  To continue our school-wide focus on no tolerance for bullying, I have been reading "How to Handle a Bully" to the class.  It is a short chapter book.  During and after readings we have had some good conversations about what to do when faced with a bully, and how bullying makes everyone who is involved feel.  Next week we will write friendly letters to other students in the school.
