Class Website

Please be sure to take some time to explore our CLASS WEBSITE. We use this site as a learning hub within our classroom but I also encouraged the students to spend some time exploring it at home.

Our website is a great place to find information about what's coming up, to get a sneak peak into our current curriculum focuses, to link to other tools that we are using as a class such at Tools2Go or Seesaw or to simply visit other fun and interesting learning links. One very important feature of our website is the CLASS CALENDAR. This is a great resources to help you stay on top of what's due and what's coming up.

Olympic Excitement

We would like to thank former Torch, Noelle Montcalm for sharing her inspirational story with us today. Once a Torch, always a Torch!

I am encouraging all families to sign up for REMIND to get notifications about what's going on in class right on your phone or in your inbox.

Remind is a safe, private communication tool designs to help better enable classroom-parent communication. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at school to discuss this further.

Regrouping Review

We watched the following video today to help us review why and how we sometimes need to regroup when doing multi-digit addition.

Practicing Our Math Facts

We have been busy practicing our addition facts over the past few days. Students are encouraged to practice their basic addition facts at home on a regular basis.

Brown Bag Activity

Students brought home outlines for their "Brown Bag Activity" today. This activity provides a great opportunity for the students to get to know each other better and practice their presentation skills at the same time. Please help your child prepare their items and ensure that they are ready to present on their assigned presentation date.
