MATH IMPROVES
YOUR HEALTH
Well, maybe not directly but in the long run it
does. I have noticed that our grade 3/4
students need to practise their math facts.
Can you spend five minutes a night practicing
flash cards with them? I will be sending
flashcards home in the days to come.
READ A BOOK
Parents, keep encouraging your children to

Grade 3/4 class. We are traveling around the
province. There are lots of prizes to be had

responsible stewards of the world that God
gave us to take care of.
