Notes:
Rocks and Minerals: If your child would like to bring samples of their collections to
school, we would love to use them for exploration.
Mental Math Practice: Please help your child at home to practice their mental math
skills for addition and subtraction of numbers up to 20. Asking them simple equations
(8+3, 15-4, etc) will help them to develop mental math fluency to help lessen their
reliance on using their fingers.
This update is CASL compliant. Please refer to the Belfast Website for other important
dates/events to the school community.
