6 - We will be hosting our Literacy Night next Thursday Oct. 18th - from 6 - 7pm. All grade K - 6 Students are welcome to bring their parents to share with them what we do in literacy each day at school. 

We are currently looking at Place Value in math (Grade 5 - will look at numbers up to One Million and grade 6s will look at numbers greater than One Million.) We want to ensure we understand the place and value of large numbers prior to looking at operations involving numbers.
So, over the next few weeks you can do a few things to feel ready for operations - practice your basic multiplication facts!!! Grade 5 - please practice your basic facts up to 10x10 and grade 6s please practice your basic facts up to 12x12.
Here are a few resources to try at home:
