February's Monthly Math Message
Games
Using games to support your child at home to reinforce math
concepts they are learning in class can be fun for the whole family! Games
provide children with opportunities to explore mathematical concepts such as
number concepts, patterns and relationships. It also allows them to use models
and strategies they are familiar with (e.g., arrays, ten frames, skip
counting). Some math games are commercially available, but most can be played
with common household objects. In fact, most games that are not considered
“math” games have many math concepts already in them. Try highlighting some of
those concepts as you are playing.
For some game suggestions, you can go to the math page on the
YRDSB website:

Space + Quiet+ Connection =
The Peaceful Recess Project
At Unionville Meadows Public School, we recognize the need to create welcoming, conscious and peaceful spaces in schools. Our staff members have made a commitment to create a peaceful space for children at recess.
The Vision:
The vision behind the Peaceful Recess Project is simple: Many children and adults need moments of restoration in their day to reset their nervous systems, to connect back with themselves, and to have a break from stimulation. If they receive this opportunity to “reset,” they are able to make better decisions, to focus, and to access their creativity. There are 3 simple components to this vision…
SPACE +
A Peaceful Recess space is consciously created to foster relaxation and a sense of belonging. Teachers who open up their classrooms understand that calm is contagious and that a sense of belonging can be felt even without spoken words. Everyone has chosen to be there and they act in a respectful, caring way towards themselves and the people that are sharing the space.
QUIET +
The children and adults settle into the space without speaking and choose a quiet activity that is relaxing to them (e.g. colouring, reading, meditating, writing etc.). The lights are low, the music is soft, and there is as little stimulation as possible.
CONNECTION
Children are welcomed by a calm adult with a smile and eye contact so that they feel seen. This is critical. Some children go through the whole day without being really seen. The teacher holds in his/her heart that gentle, consistent moments of connection are a simple balm for anxiety and feelings of isolation.
