Over the next few weeks, your child will be learning about estimating, measuring, and comparing lengths using centimetres, metres, yards and inches. To reinforce the concepts your child is learning at school, you and your child can work on some at-home activities such as these: • Ask your child to show you how a fingertip can be used to estimate 1 centimeter or a hand span can be used to estimate 10 centimeters (1 decimeter). Use these known amounts to estimate lengths of objects with your child. • Your child has learned to estimate 1 meter using his or her steps. Have your child use a metre stick to measure the number of steps you take to travel 1 m. Then you and your child can use your “meter steps” to estimate distances around your home. Tomorrow is Fun Lunch. Students will eat in the classroom and then play outside. Thank you to all our volunteers that help make this possible.

Your child will use various strategies, such as multiplication, repeated subtraction, and a number line, to solve division problems. To reinforce the concepts your child is learning at school, you and your child can work on some at-home activities such as these: • Use any type of food such as baked goodies or pizza to have your child figure out how to equally share pieces among a certain number of people. • Have your child determine how many pieces to create from a pan of brownies or cake to feed the family the same serving size, such as 2 or 3 pieces. • With your child, practise using common objects or situations at home to show both equal sharing and equal grouping. For example, “How can we share 12 comic books among 4 people” (equal sharing) or “If each person receives 3 comic books and there are 12 books, how many peop...
As grade 3 comes to an end, we are celebrated today by playing some Minecraft for Education. Students solved different educational Minecraft challenges and played together to create and build. In math, we are learning about equivalent fractions. In literacy, we are finishing our Fractured Fairytales which will come home shortly. These are great stories and need to be celebrated.
