For Parents
This game is an interactive way for your child to learn about the food chain. There are several food chains that your child will complete and they will become more difficult as they go on. Food chains are part of our science unit on Habitats. Within this unit, students will be required to:

Let's Play!
For Kids
Drivers, start your engines!!! This is a great racecar game that you can use to practice your factions. You can even take as many tries as you need to answer each question. Then, when you get enough of them right, the car takes off and races to the finish.
So if you just need a little extra practice, check out this site:
http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/fraction_race_b/
For Parents
Not only is this site fun for your kids to practice fractions, but it also relates to what we are learning in class. The Ontario Math Curriculum requires that students are able to:
"represent fractions using concrete materials, words, and standard fractional notation, and
explain the meaning of the denominator as the number of the fractional parts of a whole or a set,
and the numerator as the number of fractional parts being considered"
If your child needs some more practice in this area, this is somewhere for them to start. Once they
are able to understand the basics of recognizing and representing fractions, they can continue on to more complex problems.

3 Things to Know About Me
Something you may not know about me is that I am a runner. I started running when I was a kid, probably around your age. So here are some neat websites that I like to go to.
This one is the running club called the Meaford Coyotes in my home town. My Dad is the Coach of all the kids on the team, just like he was my Coach when I was a kid. Here is a picture of the team at practice and the team website.

As a running, I try to go into several different races during the year. For a lot of them, I get to wear a velcro braclet with a computer chip in it. They can use this chip to get my time for the race when I cross the finish line. Then I can go online and find the results for most of my races at this website

Before races I like to listen to music that gets me in the mood of races. Stand by Rascal Flatts is one that I like to listen to. I can still stand up after I get knocked down. This is important in many things in life, as well as running races.
