Grade 3 math homework

Hello Grade 3 parents,

I hope you had a great week and weekend. The grade threes have two things to do for homework this weekend.

1) Ask your parent how they use math for their job. The students are to ask you how you use addition and subtraction for your job. It would also helpful if your child brings a picture of you in as well. They will be making a word problem about your job for example.

Ms. Youngblood's Dad is a salesman on November 30th he sold 345 dollars worth of product to customer A and sold 572 dollars worth of product to customer B. How much total earnings did Ms. Youngblood's Dad make today?

They do not need to have the word problem written yet. They only need to have an example to put into a word problem.

2)  If the students could please do the following addition and subtraction questions over the weekend.  They are to use one strategy per question that we have done in class. Strategies we have done are regrouping, borrowing, break apart, open number line and adding on. The students should know all of these and be able to to tell you how to use them.

Addition

1) 54+37               2) 65+91             3)472+321 .    4) 603+ 398       5) 782+584 


Subtraction

1) 67-43             2) 93-27             3)764-356        4) 967-432         5) 642-392   


Thank you for your constant support of your child's learning.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind reagards,

Ms. Youngblood

Weekend Update

Dear families,

We hope you have enjoyed your week as much as we have here in Room 10 and 11! Here's some highlights of our learning this week.


English Language Arts
Room 11 has been working on some research and note taking skills. We've also started typing up our stories and learning how to use Google Drive as responsible digital citizens. In room 10, we have finished our rocket ship stories and learned about the peer editing process.

Science
We're working in groups to develop our action plans on how to reduce waste and make a meaningful difference in our community. Ask me what me and my group are working on!

Rocks and Rings
Our gym has transformed into an ice-less curling rink and we're learning all about how to play this sport, what the rules are, and some of the words. Ask me what the house is!

Art
Did you know that real artists develop their skills by studying other artists? That's what we've been doing with Dale Chihuly, an American glassblower with an eyepatch. Check out some of his work here and here! After studying his style, we began planning our own designs for plastic sculptures using old drink bottles by sketching lots of ideas and colour combinations before starting. Ask me about some of my designs!

For next week

Healthy Snack challenge

The comprehensive school health club is putting on the healthy snack challenge. It is starting on Monday and will continue for the rest of the month of December. We will be looking at how many healthy snacks we have in every class as well as discussing what a healthy snack is.

Rocks and Rings

Rocks and rings is continuing next week. Room 10 has it on Monday and Room 11 has it on Wednesday. Please insure that your child is wearing comfortable clothing on these days.

French

Students have a French quiz on basic body parts, shapes, colours and numbers on Tuesday Dec 4. Here's the study guide from Mrs. Schulz:

Wishing you a restful rejuvenating weekend,

Ms. Tang and Ms. Youngblood

Grade 4 Math Homework

Dear families,

This week we've been learning to use a new strategy to subtract two numbers. We can find the difference between two numbers using an open number line! The difference, or answer to the subtraction equation, is the distance between the two numbers on the number line. For example:

To reenforce understanding, please complete at least 5 of the following subtraction problems using the above strategy.

Have a great day!

Ms. Tang

Message from Mrs. Schulz (French)

Dear families,

Just a friendly reminder that students' monster projects (writing and picture) are due Thursday morning. Please make sure you bring your project and French dictionary (if you borrowed one).

Have a great week!

Room 10's update on the week

Hello Parents


I hope you had a great week today. We had an exciting week and we wanted to share the highlights of the week with you what we did.


Monday

We had our last class with STEM learning lab coding our dot and dash robots we had so much fun. After we did a sharing circle and we were able to see each others robots. All of the groups were able to code dot and dash to speak to one another.


Tuesday


On Tuesday we started writing our Way Back Home stories. We watched a video about a child who goes to outer space then his rocket runs out of gas. The students have started writing stories about the video they watched. We also learnt about how to write a good hook in a story as well as point of view in a story. Our stories are turning out great

Wednesday

On Wednesday we had science and we looked at pictures of other countries and learnt about garbage disposal in other countries. We had a great discussion about how we can help other countries to help with their garbage and plastic pollution problem.

Thursday

On Thursday we worked on all of your projects in class. We also had our word work check in today so word work lists will not be going home over the weekend.


Please remember to do your weekend journals.


I hope you all have a great weekend.

Kind regards,

Ms. Youngblood

Grade 4 Math Check-in

Dear grade 4 families,

We have been learning about using a variety of strategies to add multi-digit numbers in math. On Monday, there will be an in-class check in to see how our students are getting along with addition. Please be sure to practice a few questions over the weekend using at least 2 of the strategies (open number line, break apart, vertical addition and traditional algorithm) we've discussed in class.

It's important that students are able to demonstrate their understanding by showing all of their work. These strategies are a great way to do that!

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Tang
