Mathletics

I have signed the class up for Mathletics.  It is a great way to practice math facts in a fun and exciting way.  Many of the children would really benefit from math fact practice and speed with facts.

It is easy to access the site from home.  You can go to the St. Cecilia Website and click on the tab that says Student Portal.  Once you are in the student portal, click on the app that says Mathletics and if your child is already signed into Chrome, he or she will go straight into the website game from there.

I will also send home the Mathletic passwords and usernames incase you are having difficulty signing into Chrome with the students accounts (firstname.lastname@ocsbstudent.ca) in which case you can go to the Mathletics Website and use the username and password that has been sent home today.

In addition, there is a Mathletic App that is a free download for iPads.

The students can go "live" and play against students in our class or around the globe.



Have Fun!!

Remembrance Day

Our School Remembrance Day ceremony will be held this Wednesday in our school gymnasium at 10:45 a.m.  Last week and this week, the students have been working hard on their Pointillism Remembrance Day Art.  The artwork is really coming together and is beautiful!

Students can bring in money to purchase poppies here at St. Cecilia.




The students have really enjoyed looking at some famous examples of pointillism such as, Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande.    






Here are some other famous paintings that we have looked at and discussed.
