Assignments coming home on Monday

Dear Families of Room 13

You will find two assignments coming home on Monday.
Both need the signed paper returned to me after you have gone through the assignments.

SEVEN SACRED TEACHINGS booklet

This was completed in December and then revisited in February.
Students were given the opportunity to review the expectations and enhance their work before we started our new Indigenous exploration through Art that we are currently completing
.
I have included an expectations checklists as well as an overall mark for the assignment to give you an idea of your child's achievement.  Please sign and return the checklist and send it back to me for my records.  Please keep your child's work unless I have requested it to be returned to me.

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION practice

Students have been refining their adding and subtracting skills through daily practice, games and activities.  The Mad Minute/Practice pages coming home are only one kind of assessment of your child's mathematical skills.  They do, however, show where students may be having difficulties as well as what to focus on for home practice.

On each paper I have indicated a general number of achievement.  This mark is for this assignment alone and does not reflect your child's overall grade in Math.   Please use the descriptions below to help you when you go through your child's work with them.

Students working on differentiating subtraction and addition operations as well as working on using strategies accurately may be at a 1 limited understanding of concepts for this assignment.

Some students are working on using strategies accurately, but show a basic understanding for addition and subtraction strategies.  This is generally what I would expect from a student achieving a 2 basic level of understanding.

Students that show a good understanding and execution of strategies would be around a 3 level.  These students may be working on increasing their speed of calculation as well as checking for mistakes in their calculations.

Students achieving a 4 would show almost consistent accuracy and able to complete calculations efficiently in the time given.

Please go through the assignment with your child, sign and return it to me.  I have been meeting with them all in small groups so they should know what strategies they are working on.  I will be happy to discuss this further at interviews.

*** . Please note that some of the Math practice sheet were marked twice.  The first round was in pen and I determined students needed more time.  Please note the ORANGE marks as the final assessment. ***

Thanks for your support!
