Winter Weather
Winter is making an early visit to Calgary! With snowy days on the way, a friendly reminder to send students to school with outdoor gear (boots, parkas, mittens, hats, snow pants). We go outside every day at lunch and recess unless the weather is extreme.

Volunteer Opportunities
Bridlewood School relies on volunteers to help us with fields trips, special lunches
and Scholastic Book Fairs, just to name a few examples. We are currently putting
together a list of people who may be able to give us the gift of some of their time
for these occasions. If you are interested in supporting our school in this way,
please email us at Bridlewood@cbe.ab.ca. Please remember that all volunteers
must have a current security clearance and have completed a yearly volunteer
form. If you need to begin this process, please visit our school office during regular
office hours.
Headphones
Sometimes when students are working on computers, they would like to use the text-to-speech function when doing research. We do not have headphones for each student to have as their own. Do you have cheap earbuds or headphones that your child can keep at school? If so, would you mind sending them? It is best if you label them and a plastic ziplock type bag might be helpful as well for personal organization.

Place Value
We are learning about place value. Place value is important as it helps us understand the meaning of numbers. We use the meaning of numbers to help us make reasonable estimates and accurately add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Students created a visual journal page to create a reminder about the value of each digit in a number. In grade 4, students need to demonstrate understand of numbers up to ten-thousand. In grade 5, student need to demonstrate understanding of numbers up to a million. Students then created questions to show their understanding of place value. Below are examples of visual journal pages and a frame for questions that students should be able to create and then answer. Students would benefit from practicing these skills at home. One suggestion is for the students to create the questions and then test their parents. Are your answers the same? Why or why not?
