Hi Families,
Your child experienced an exciting activity in math today. They are bringing home a card with their user name and password to play math facts games against other kids all over the world. It is called World Math and can be reached at worldmathsday.com (don't forget the s) They have gone online today in the classroom and used level 1. On March 7 there will be a whole day dedicated to this. There is also a world spelling competition they can access from this same site if they are interested. I hope you have time to encourage them to play. It was fun to hear them yell, "I just beat someone from Canada, or Germany or England."
I also wanted to remind you to start looking for an immigration outfit for your child to wear for our simulation on Friday, March 9th. I have told the kids the immigrants were usually very poor. I have photo albums from previous years to show them some ideas. No one needs to buy anything. Boys usually wore old hats or caps, vests, coats and the girls often wore long skirts, shawls, head scarves etc. Vacation week may be a good time to start to get this started. Let me know if you need help.
Tomorrow is the x 7 test as well as the spelling test.
I hope you all have a wonderful February vacation. If you like to ski it sounds like the mountains may get some snow! Best, Cathy
