Today was a very busy day! The class is really hitting their stride academically, working harder every day to get their work done and really push themselves to achieve at a high level. It also marks the last day of my now-infamous moustache, which will be returned to the stubble from whence it came later on this evening. Thanks to Jack and family for their kind Christmas/Movember gift that will help with my efforts.
We finished up the math chapter today, focusing on some techniques that they can use for doing subtraction using mental math strategies. This was a very brief lesson since it is a concept they have seen many times before. Your child should be able to complete their entire math review booklet now. I have assigned up to (at least) Lesson 6 tonight. If they finish, please encourage them to review more and create new problems to solve.
The class is participating in a school program affiliated with the 2012 World Junior Hockey Championships in Edmonton/Calgary. Today our package arrived in the mail, so we started doing some of the activities online. The website they can follow along with is:

Click on any of the activities on the left sidebar (in French, s'il vous plait!), and you will be prompted to give a username and password. These are:
username: schoolprogram
password: wjc2012
Have fun! This could be used as a great substitute for reading a French book if your child is interested.
We are moving along with our study of geography and all health mobiles are now complete and presented. Report cards are coming out on Friday, so be sure to keep an eye out! The information for booking parent-teacher meetings is available on a newsletter that went home yesterday.
