Dear children,

Here's what we have so far for the first week of March:

Ninja-Fairy is leading so far! We have one more week to go before school closes for the March holidays. There will be lots of opportunities this week for each one of you to earn ice-cream sticks for your group.

We wrote a letter to Charlie McBing today to thank him for the great feast he prepared. 

We finished some challenging problems on models today and will be moving on to the topic of multiplication tomorrow.

Here are the reminders for today:

1) Keep your Term 2 Spelling List well. You will need it for next term's spelling.

2) Bring your art materials to complete your hanging mobile tomorrow if you did not finish it last week. You must complete and submit it tomorrow. If you have already submitted yours, you can help your friends with theirs tomorrow.

3) Show your Unit 3 Part B (green) booklet to your parents and ask them for a signature after they have looked through your work. If you still have re-corrections, complete them. Bring back the booklet tomorrow for me to check.

4) If you have not submitted your Spelling Book or your Journal, submit it tomorrow.

5) If you have not shown your parents the KooBits subscription form, please show it to them. I strongly recommend that you subscribe to it. You can bring the completed form and cheque (or cash) and pass it to me tomorrow for safekeeping if you are afraid you will forget to bring it on Wednesday.

6) Memorise your 2 times table. The Pair Multiplication Challenge starts tomorrow. Each of you has the chance to earn one ice-cream stick for your group in the daily 5-minute Challenge. Would you earn that ice-cream stick, or would you give it away to your opponent? ;)

These are what you need to memorise for tomorrow's challenge:

2 x 1 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 6 = 12

2 x 7 = 14

2 x 8 = 16

2 x 9 = 18

2 x 10 = 20

Have a fruitful evening tonight! :)
