Dear Parents, Guardian and Students,  We hope you all had a wonderful long weekend.   We have had a few parents reach out to ask us about the assessment of tasks/assignments.  Your child(ren) have been submitting assignments to us online through Google Classroom, or prior to this, on Google Docs.  Feedback and comments have been provided to your children using both of these platform s.  In addition, teachers have sometimes “returned” assignments to students allowing them to make changes and edits to their work, and allowing students to resubmit the assignment.  Please ask you child if they have submitted their assignments in Google Classroom and ask them to share their feedback they've received in Google Classroom. We also have Google Classroom up and running.  We have been emphasizing for the kids to ensure they are “turning in” all assignments in Google Classroom instead of previous platforms that they were using.  We appreciate your child’s help with this an

Hey Grade 5/6s!  We are ready to begin a brand new unit-- numerical patterns! How do we find patterns and how is that useful to us?

Understanding how to recognize and predict patterns helps us better understand the world around us and can guide us to making better decisions.  Please go to Google Classroom for the rest of today’s instructions and Math Task #12.
