Making 10 - Mental Math for this Week

Let's Practice Together

Practice your make 10 with this cool game:

Similes

Remember.. they are S-I-Miles not smiles!

A simile compares two things using LIKE or AS.

The kitten is as fluffy AS a cloud.

Your eyes are blue LIKE the sky.

The boy moves slow LIKE a turtle.

See if you can think of your own!!

Math Treasure Hunt

For those students who did not finish it. Due on Monday:

Sorry that it is a bit distorted.. We are running on data over our phones until Unifi moves our service, so it is uploading weird!

New Schedule

Our schedule has changed a bit with the MYP/IB program going to a one week rather than a two week schedule. The main important change is that Swimming and PE days have changed. Swimming is now on Monday's and PE is on Wednesday's. We will still have library on Wednesday mornings.

Summer Holidays Work

Please have your child review math work, use Freckle and Prodigy and especially reading.

The research is clear that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three to six months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect.

See research here: https://natlib.govt.nz/schools/reading-engagement/summer-reading/summer-slide-and-summer-reading-research

Math Fact Masters

We have 3 students who have passed all of the levels thus far.. Congratulations to Evan, Lukas, and Emily!! They are done their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts!

We also have JaeNa who has mastered multiplication and Kai Xin who mastered addition! Great job kiddos! Keep practicing over the holidays to keep your math game strong!

Food Chains & Food Webs

Remember - A food chain is the smaller (one line) chain like:

Sun --> Plant (Apple Tree) --> Catepillar --> Duck --> Human

A Food Web is like a spider web that draws lines to multiple different food chains (think about when Bill Nye got caught in his food web - so many strings!)
