Thanks for checking us out, and please be sure to star/bookmark this site for easy access! I will be periodically posting on here to let you know of our learning goals, posting videos, or tips on how you can continue your learning at home!
Our focus in math is Place Value! Here are our learning goals for this unit!
- I can count forward (by 1,2,5,10,25, 100) and backwards (by 2, 5, 10, 100) using a variety of tools
- I can represent, compare, and order numbers up to 1000
- I can read and write whole numbers
- I can identify and represent the value of a digit according to its position in the number (3 in 324 is 3 hundreds)
- I can compose and decompose 3-digit numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones using concrete materials
- I can round 2-digit to the nearest ten
- I can represent and explain the relationship among the numbers 1, 10, 100, 1000
Try to help your child consolidate this learning at home by having them skip count while waiting for the light to change in the car, while waiting for their sibling to get dressed, and while waiting for commercials to be over. When shopping and looking at prices, ask your child to round the dollar amounts to the nearest 10. When a number comes up in a book, on the tv, or in an address, ask them to tell you which digit is in the 100's column, or 10's column, or 1's column and what it's value is.
In Religion, we have been working on our unit on Samaritans on a Digital Road - teaching us all about being safe online.
We are learning about Retelling in our Literacy block. Grade 3's are working on writing a recount with interesting details and transition words. Thursday & Friday our first recounts will be coming home to be reviewed and signed.
In reading we can see how Fix-Up Strategies help us when are struggling to decode a word. Watch for a bookmark to come home shortly to help your child and you remember some of the strategies so they can use them while reading.

As always, please feel free to contact me with a note in the agenda if you have any questions.
