2-digit Addition and Subtraction

Hello parents,
We've started learning how to add 2-digit numbers in math (i.e. 57 + 21 = 78) with and without re-grouping up to 99.  Next week we will begin subtracting 2-digit numbers, with and without re-grouping.  Both of these prove to be more challenging when students do not know their number facts for adding and subtracting numbers up to 18.  Please practise and review these at home to make this new learning easier for your children.  Flash cards from the dollar store are a fun way to practise!

Class Trip Next Week

On Tuesday, March 26th our class is going to the Ontario Science Centre.  We are going to explore the exhibits and participate in a Simple Machines workshop.  Our school is very lucky to be part of Adopt-a-Class program and we are able to go to the Science Centre at absolutely no cost to us!  We will take a TTC bus to get there and back.  I will send a reminder next week.
Please remember to sign and return the permission form as soon as possible.
