Celebration of Learning
CJP's next Celebration of Learning is happening this Wednesday, February 28th from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Students and their families are invited to attend an evening of fun, learning, and inspiration. This celebration's theme is "Growing a Community of Learners," and classrooms throughout the school will host a variety of activities that are designed to encourage learning through games, play, discussion, and exploration. There will be a variety of math and literacy activities, critical thinking tasks, Indigenous studies, current events explorations, Science inquiries, and much more! We hope that you can join us in celebrating the amazing learning that happens every day!
This game provides an
excellent demonstration of how multiplication works. First, players roll the
die twice to find numbers for their multiplication fact. Then, they place cards
in piles to create a visual representation of each fact. When solving their problem,
players can count the cards or use the multiplication facts they already know.
As patterns appear within the game, players will gain a better grasp on
multiplication.
What You Need:
One deck of
cards (or blocks, counters etc.)
One die (Make your
own.)
A score sheet for
every player
Pencils
What You Do: 1. On a
player's turn, they roll the die twice. Their first roll indicates how many
piles they must make. Their second roll tells how many cards to place face down
in each pile. 2. The player will then create those piles, add up the total
number of cards used (either by counting them or by using multiplication), and
record their score. 3. Play for ten rounds. The person who uses the most cards
total is the winner.
Book Fair Dates
Both classes on the 27th and 28th will have an opportunity to purchase and look at books on these days. Students can bring money on both days. Thank you to all the parents who are volunteering and making this happen!
Pink Shirt Day
On February 28th students are encouraged to wear a pink shirt in order to show that bullying is not tolerated in their school community. If your child does not have a pink shirt they may wear red. Below are two links that you can check out for more information. There is a difference between bullying vs being mean/rude so it's important to have those conversations.
