Feb. 20/26

It’s hard to believe we have now completed 100 days of school. On Thursday the student's task was to run and find all the numbers, 1-100 and then they problem solved, work together to organize and build a large 100 chart. 

Today for 100 day, Div. 13 focused on money, we reviewed multiplication, 10 dimes = a loonie, 10 loonies make $10, 10 X $10 equals $100.00,  5 X $20.00 = $100.00 20 X $5.00.

Then using Timbits, we learned all about division sharing 100 yummy donut holes.  Speaking of yummy treats our trail mix was lots of fun, a sweet and salty treat.  We counted all our collections, we had 1700 which we divided for everyone to take home!  All the primary classes had a short assembly in the gym and we ended the day working with Div. 12 building or colouring!  A busy but successful day!

Upcoming Dates:

• On Tuesday we will be walking (rain or shine) to Westveiw to watch The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood. Please dress appropriately for the weather/proper footwear. We will be eating lunch early so that we can leave by 12. 
• Div 13 student led-conference sign up will be sent out on Tuesday,  I do have a basketball game after school so it will later in the afternoon.  March 12 & 13 are our conference days.  The conference will be a  30-minute commitment (1st 15 minutes with your child in the hall to celebrate and go through their work and then up to 15 minutes with me and your child to discuss their report card and set goals for our next term).  If none of these times work for you please email and let me know when you are available and we can make arrangements.

Fairview Olympic Fun!

We had our own Olympic celebrations at Fairview this week! Students enjoyed a parade of athletes, curling, speed skating, skeleton, hockey, lots of cheering, and even a special figure‑skating performance from the teachers. Ask your child what their favourite event was!

We hope everyone has their Olympic Reading Calendar in a handy spot and is “Reading for Gold.”

#1 Canadian presentations started on Thursday.  We learned all about Shaienne and Sophia and enjoyed their posters and thoughtful sharing. Theo and Devon will present this week.
