Welcome back!
I am very happy to be able to reach out to all my kiddos! I have missed you all. We are stepping into a new way of learning together and I will do my best to help in any way I can.
Should you have any questions, parents can contact me at: michelle.hache@nbed.nb.ca
For students, use your Office 365 username and password. I have set up Teams for Grades 6-8 so students can send questions/comments about their work there.
The following parent letters provide an outline of the Dreambox site. It is an adaptive math program that adjusts to meet each individual child's level. The program recommends three, 20 minute sessions per week. This is just a guideline. It is my hope that each of you enjoy the program, create neat Avatars and learn a little along the way. Have fun! I have identified which lesson to start with, it will be identified with a little blue calendar.
I would also like you to have a little fun with your math too, so for this week I am asking each of my students, on Tuesday or Thursday, to try a baking activity! Try a recipe that can be doubled, maybe ask someone to help. Be mindful of the fractions you see in the recipe; can you put them in order? (grade 5-7). Try changing any mixed numbers into improper fractions (grade 6-8). I look forward to hearing what you made!
