Parents, we watched the grade 3s during their Remembrance Day practice this afternoon, and we were extremely impressed. Their practice has paid off, and their voices shine through as they sing beautifully. Their artwork, too, is coming together. We are really looking forward to our assembly on Friday.
Today in math we looked at "making 10" as a mental math strategy - kids drew all of the ways to make 10, and practiced this skill with some addition problems. This is a very valuable mental math skill. For example, if kids know that 7+3 = 10, they know that 43+7=50, or that 470 + 32 = 502. We also learned a card game called Flip 10 to help practice our 10’s facts.
Just a quick reminder to have students to wear black, white and/or red on Friday for the Remembrance Day Assembly at 10:30.
Have a great night!
-Mrs. Redd
