Les mathématiques à la maison: September
Math at Home
We will be finishing up our patterning unit shortly, but this week we will look at sorting and classifying objects, following a rule.
Take a few minutes to look around your house for examples of household items that are organized in a certain way ( cutlery in the utensil drawer? drawers of socks, t-shirts, pants? fruits, vegetables, meats in the fridge? ). Talk to your child about why people may organize their things like this - is it easy to find things when you want them?
Pick a few items in your house that you can organize ( or re-organize ) with your child, picking a rule to follow.
Example: If you have a collection of movies or DVDs, pick a way to sort them into various piles or rows ( such as movies for kids and movies for adults, or cartoon films and live-action films ).

Open House Reminder
Bonjour! Just a reminder that Wednesday, September 18th at 4pm-6m is our
Open House. I will be there for the entire two hours and it would be
lovely to see you there! Merci :)
**In our Math at Home section, I suggested "sharing" the snack pattern that you have created at school. Just to clarify, I don't mean sharing the food with our classmates, just showing off the pattern you have created! Sorry for any confusion.

As we continue our patterning unit, try to create some patterns of your own with your child. You could use:
- stuffed animals
- toy cars
- buttons
- cutlery
What characteristics are you using? Colour? Size?
If you have time to get creative in the kitchen, find a few toothpicks or barbeque skewers. Choose a few different types of healthy snacks ( cheese, fruit, vegetables, etc. ) and create patterns on the skewers. Feel free to send them in your child's lunch to share at school!

Les mathématiques à la maison: September 9th to 13th
Math at home
During math in our class this week, we will be looking at recognizing and creating repeating patterns of one attribute ( colour, shape, size, etc ).
Go on a hunt for patterns in your house. Look through each room and see if you can spot any patterns - in the wall paper in the bedrooms? The tile in the washroom? On your plates when having dinner? Maybe on a carpet in your living room?
Discuss these patterns - what makes it a pattern? Does it repeat? Do you like the way they look? Are they easy to spot or complicated? Do you think they are more interesting than other designs?
Merci!
