Onward toward colonialism!

Tomorrow we head off to Cupids, to see the archaeological dig and interpretation center. It is a great experience for the kids to have, and will be invaluable when they are working on their final project in the upcoming week or two. I don't have many more notes for today, but here are a few details.

We have moved on to Addition/Subtraction in math. There were a few memories to be jogged, but the class seems to be pretty up-to-speed with the concepts and processes we will be using. In the coming weeks I will put up links on this blog that will offer practice opportunities and fun games on this theme. One major way we will be teaching the addition and subtraction of decimals will be with money. This lends itself well to a number of fun games and activities, with our current favourite being a whole-classroom store that students have to select from to spend a fixed amount of money.

I have to leave school early today, so please check bookbags for a note I sent home with additional information. Wish me luck for tomorrow!
