Yesterday, both Mrs. G and Mrs. Nelson were absent. They were at a fabulous conference called, Unseen Hurts: Understanding Mental Health Issues in School. It was a great conference and we learned so much! 

We are so glad we went, but unfortunately we heard that our classes were quite distracted and off tasks for the substitute teachers. We had a discussion with students the day before, so that they knew what was happening and who was going to be here with them. Please talk with your child about the behaviours that may have been present yesterday and how they can show more kindness and respect for all teachers, even substitutes.

We have been working hard learning strategies for addition and subtraction. I hope you are all able to find time to go on Mathletics, either on the computer or on an iPad or tablet. It is such a fun way for kids to continue their math skills.
