Hello Parents,
It was great having the opportunity to meet with you this week for parent conferences. Given the short week that we had, we were able to cover ways to check for reasonableness in addition and subtraction by estimation. Example if 345 +567 is given we can estimate what would be a reasonable answer by estimating to 300 +600 = 900 or 350 + 570.
The students also learnt to check their subtraction by adding. See link

In Science we continue to look at types of adaptations and examples of each.

Homework was given in Math: pages 193-195
REMINDERS:
Remember to help you children learn their scripture verses. They have the sheet with the scripture verses in their blue folders. Also, look in their planners to make sure they are writing down their homework. We would like to see them take responsibility for their homework and depend less on the adults reminding them what to do. Please send portfolios back to school with your child. Have a great weekend.
