Math Homework
Our homework program will consist mainly of math questions for students to practice ideas and concepts covered in class. Sometimes this independent practice will take the form of a worksheet, and other times questions from the textbook. The questions assigned will be given to students in class as part of our routine.
Due to the high number of students we have in our class this year, we do not have enough math textbooks to send home. In the "Homework & Links" section of our blog, you will find a file with the scanned pages. The students have been given the password to the file, and there is also a hint for the students if they forget
Students who would like to have extra practice can us the IXL website. This week, students can do the "A.1. Place Value" to practice expanded form and place value columns.

Welcome to our class blog!
Hi parents, guardians and students!
Welcome to our class blog! We've had a great start to our school year and I'm excited about the learning we're going to do this year. To help keep everyone informed, I will be keeping this blog to let parents and guardians know what's going on in our classroom. Each week, you will find the topics being covered in our classes, in addition to that week's Spelling words. I also hope to have "reporters" who will write about the events and activities happening in our class.
I believe that parent involvement and open communication are key to helping students reach their best potential. My hope is that this blog will be one of several channels of communication between families and myself. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to jot a note in the student agenda or give me a call (the school phone number is found on the 1st page of the student agenda).
It has been a pleasure meeting each of your children, and I hope to get chance to meet all the parents/guardians soon too!
Cheers,
Ms. Kwong
