The kids are excited to play our new Math game called Dream Box. It is a licensed program that Mrs. Baggs purchased for each student from grades 1-6. A note went home last week with your child's username and password as well as the link. We had some problems with the provided, but it should work now. You can connect through the blog and also through our class website on the Curriculum Corner page. Students are encouraged to play the game at home as well as at school (we have 1 period a week dedicated to playing). It is quite unique, as the program automatically sets up questions at your child's level and it allows parents and teachers to view their time online and their progress. Happy playing!
My nephew (Mr. Slee) teaches a grade 8 class in London Ontario. I thought you might enjoy their class efforts on this seasonal Youtube.

That was really neat, thanks for sharing! I'll be sure to show the class.
DeleteInteresting information for you Miss Hall.
DeleteI have just learned that one of Mr. Slee's students lost his father to cancer two weeks ago. The proceeds for this CD will go to cancer. Every view on YouTube helps. Mr. Slee was married last summer at their family camp. Mr. Slee's wife Alyssa works as an Autism therapist and is completing her M.Ed in Applied Behavior Analysis. This camp is a non profit camp for children with special needs. This is a very special couple trying to make a difference in the world. The camp web site is: http://www.lighthouselanding.ca/
