In Mathematics, we are continuing our unit on Number Sense and Numeration. A primary focus will be on subtraction strategies. There will not be a 2 minute drill this week as Friday is a P.A Day. On Thursday, students will have a quiz on all of the skills we have covered so far. To help your child prepare for this assessment ask the grade 2 students questions such as:
“I have
50 cents and I want to buy an item for 10 cents. How much money will I have
left”?
For the
grade 3 students: Review adding and subtracting three-digit by two-digit
numbers such as: 247-65=_______
and $1.76 + $4.89=_________.
and $1.76 + $4.89=_________.
In Language Arts, we are exploring point of view (first person vs.
narrator). When reading with your child, encourage them to look for key
words that indicate the author's point of view. For example, first person
uses "I and me." A narrator uses words like "he and his."
One text we will focus on is The
Tale of Pale Male by Jeannette Winter. We will still be practising how to
use evidence from the text to support oral and written answers. There will not be a new spelling list this
week as it is a busy short week.
