Good afternoon,

Last week was a very busy week as well as this week coming!!!

Here are some highlights from last week-

1. We had another opportunity to attend the Starr Gymnastics workshop. Fun was had by all!

2. Math- we continue to look at how to make change. Students have been working hard with partners to find various strategies to make change.

We have looked at using open number line

0                                                    $2.75                                                                           $5.00

Sue wants to buy a toy for $2.75 and she gives the cashier $5.00. What is her change?

Ask your child if he/she would know how to show their thinking using a number line!


This week we will be looking at how to add and subtract dollar amounts.
I encourage everyone to keep practicing at home as this an essential skill!!!
