IMPORTANT INFORMATION Math We will begin 3-digit addition and subtraction next week. I will be showing the students different ways to add 3-digit numbers, including the most common way of stacking and carrying over/borrowing, including checking their work. The expectation is that students pick one they find proficient for their calculations and problem-solving, as well as being able too explain what their method is, and what the place value of the digits mean, as well as being able to check their answer. Word Work - Literacy Centres Students will begin their sound pattern/spelling groups next week. On Monday, I will send home their sort list, and a sheet of suggested spelling activities to do at home. After that, only their sort list will come home. If it is a short week, I will carry that list to the next week. This is not expected homework, but a way to support their learning. An activity should be no longer than 15-20 minutes long. On Fridays, students will be doing an assessment of their list. This is not for marks, but a way for me to make sure they are learning their sound patterns/words, that they are in the right group, and to make them accountable when they are learning their sound patterns. Plus they truly love the wee Friday This-Is-Not-a-Quiz-Quiz. If you have a questions or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We finished up our rough copies for the acrostic poem. They have now been submitted into the Editor (me) for final review before going to copy on Monday. After Music, The One and Only Ivan, and snack, we worked on finishing up our arpilleras, the Peruvian story quilts. Next steps will be for students to design their own arpilleras (their own life story) in their Visual Journal, along with a reflection writing why they chose what they did. Short and sweet! Cheerios!
