A Message from our Principal
Even though October 5th has been a PD day for our students, our staff were busy working on Math! A lot of focus has been on Math and the fundamental teachings. We also looked at how Math is taught and reflected in every area of the curriculum. We hope to provide our community with weekly/monthly updates regarding how Math is being taught in the school and how families can help support the learning through everyday experiences. Next time you’re in the school please take a moment to look at some of the work displayed in our front foyer. We would also like to share some curriculum information in the link below:

As well, staff watched a compelling short clip regarding memory versus understanding and how automaticity plays a role in your child’s learning of math. Please take a moment to watch as it’s only 4 minutes long:
