Math Quiz and Salad Bar Lunch
We will be having a quiz on our math unit addition and subtraction to 18 on Thursday March 5th.
These are the things that the students are expected to be able to do;
- add and subtract to 18
- be able to use the 3 mental math strategies we have learned ( +1 and +2 as well as -1 and -1, making 10, doubles and doubles +1 [also called “near doubles” or “side by sides”])
- be able to tell if an equation is equal or not equal
- be able to write a fact family for a set of numbers
- be able to answer a story problem with a number sentence and a word sentence
- be able to find the missing number in an addition or subtraction equation
Tomorrow your child will be bringing home a math review package that has some math questions and practice ideas in it. This will give you an idea of the type of things to practice at home. Feel free to expand on these questions as you practice at home. This package is just designed to get you started.
This is an essential unit for grade 2 math. It is important that the children have a solid base of math facts to 18 in their memory to help ease the transition into addition and subtraction to 100 when we begin that unit in mid-March.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
Salad Bar Lunch
Please check your child’s planner for a note about this lunch being planned by the nursing students.
U of S Nursing Students Fresh Food Buffets
A Fresh Approach to Lunch
Dear Parents and Guardians:
The U of S nursing students are pleased to invite your child to a healthy Fresh Food Buffet lunch.
On March 11, 2015 your child can enjoy a healthy fun lunch at Warman Elementary School from the U of S nursing students’ friendly salad bar buffet. Menu items will include three fruit choices (BC apples, pineapple, and oranges), five vegetable choices (carrots, romaine lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes), three protein choices (cheese, hard boiled eggs, mixed bean salad), two grain options (whole wheat tortillas, whole wheat buns). We strive to have a nut-free menu. Allergen foods will be separated and safe gluten free options will be available.
Not only will the grade two students have a wonderful lunch, but they will also enjoy the opportunity to select a well-balanced healthy lunch for themselves. Our main focus with the fresh food buffet lunch will be increasing consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Proceeds from the Fresh Food Buffet will go towards the Kids in the Garden program and the purchase of a salad bar lunch tool kit, to assist with future Fresh Food Buffets.
Parents of the grade two students are welcome to join their child for lunch at the same cost of $5.50 per adult and a cost of $2.00 per child under 5 years. Tables will be set up in the gym or parents can sit with their child in the classroom.
We would like to encourage children to bring a plate and fork from home to reduce waste.
