"Friendly Numbers" - Strategy for adding three-digit numbers. Introduced this morning in class and we will continue to work on addition strategies this week.
Also, I will be sending home 3x tables for memorization. I will help kids with memory work as there are a couple of strategies they can use for remembering their multiplication tables. While there are many opinions about whether kids should be memorizing times tables, I tend to side with the opinion that if kids have these tools in their back pockets, solving math equations and problems becomes a little bit easier.
For your calendars:
Thursday afternoon is our Terry Fox Run. Please have students come to school dressed for the weather with water bottles, sun screen/hats and running shoes.
Wednesday is Pizza Lunch Day.
Friday is Orange Shirt Day. I will be helping our class to understand the relevance of orange shirts as it pertains to First Nations, Residential Schools and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). If your child has an orange shirt, Friday is the day to wear it for a specific meaning. Thank you.
Our classroom continues to be very, very hot. Please ensure you send water bottles to school.
Behaviour was exceptional this afternoon. I'm thrilled at the effort our kids have put into following routines quickly and listening to instructions. Thank you for your support on the home front. I forgive them the last 20 minutes of the day. It was hot and we were all desperately waiting for the final bell. Great job, everyone!
Freezies for everyone on this very hot afternoon!
