Morning Message
Dear Victor Primary,
It is Mindset Monday. What makes you feel loved? It may be kind words. It may be hugs from people you love. It may be when someone does something nice to you. Now, think about the things you love. Spread that love to the people that you live with.
You’ve Got This!
Reading
Good morning!
Today you can continue reading your book or choose a new one. Try to read about 30 minutes today! This can be a just right book or you can have someone read aloud to you. Don’t forget you can access more reading resources on Classlink!

If you want to share 10 cookies among four people, how can you share them equally? How much does each person get?
The gas tank in our car holds 12 gallons, but right now it is only one fourth full. How many gallons of gas do we need to buy to fill up the tank?
