February 26, 2010

Word of the day: embrace

For the second week in a row, the ENTIRE class earned 100% on the week's spelling test. Awesome!

Congratulations today to Severin and Braeden for perfect completion of today's math facts test. Now it's on the the 4 and 8 times tables for you, gentlemen!

Reminders:
1. Practise the times tables
2. Coins for Haiti
3. Help the Canadians finish strong at the Olympics - cheer hard!

Head scratcher of the day: Here's a way to turn any number into a four. Try it!
1. Pick a number.
2. Spell it out.
3. Count the letters.
4. Spell that number of letters out in words. (For example, if the number of letters is six, spell s-i-x.)
5. Keep repeating steps 3 and 4.

No matter what number you start with, you'll always end up with the number four!
