April 27, 2010

Word of the day: tranquil

Reminders:
1. Practise math facts
2. Spelling due Thurday


Your child is bringing home literature on the upcoming Provincial Achievement tests (PATs) today. The note and booklet give some information on the tests, including the types of tests and the dates they are written. We've begun writing some practise PAT questions in Math. Today's math booklets have been sent home - please go over the questions with your child. Your explanations regarding the questions may differ from the ones we talked about in class, but that's okay. We always stress that there often is more than one way to solve a problem, and that good thinkers (which is what good math students are!) should practise finding more than one route to the correct answer.

As well, your child is bringing home a rough draft of a story today. To compliment our preparation for the story writing portion of the PATs, please go over the story with your child, following the guidelines on the back of today's note. Thanks!
