2 and 3 Digit Addition and Subtraction

In Math our current focus is on addition and subtraction. We are working towards adding and subtracting numbers that are 3 digits. A math review was sent home this weekend. Please use our charts below to help students review. Some students need to review how to subtract with regrouping. The chart below will help. We also came up with some strategies to help us add numbers. These strategies really help us when we add 2 and 3 digit numbers. Ask your child about these strategies and review the math work at home this weekend.

Also below are pictures of our Math Centers this week . We played a lot of fun addition and subtraction games with our friends. Ask your child about their favourite games. I will also add some math game links at the bottom to help students review key concepts. Have a great weekend!

Swim to Survive Program

Starting this Monday April 11th as well as Monday April 18th and Monday April 25th, the grade 3's will be participating in the Swim to Survive Program. Thank you for sending your permission letters back to school in a timely manner. Students will head to Splash Wave pool by bus to learn basic swimming to survive lessons. We ask that you remember to send your child to school with the following items:

-appropriate bathing suit (one piece for girls)

Students who do not come to school with these items will not be able to attend the swimming sessions. Students do not need to bring anything else. Items such as hair clips and eye goggles are not permitted. We will leave by bus around 12:30 and arrive at school around 2:30.

Thank You!
