Tonight, your child is bringing home his/her first language assessment on sentences. Please sign any and all tests and assessments that your child shows you.  This includes signing the weekly THRoW entries, Spelling tests, etc.

Tomorrow is our first Math test.  This is a fairly large unit, so there is quite a bit information that I am testing them on.  To review, please go over the following...

• key words for addition and subtraction
• spelling of number words to 20 for grade 2, to 100 for grade 3
• using < (less than), > (greater than), or = (equal to) to compare numbers
• identifying the value of a number Ex. 126 - the value of the 2 is 20.
• rounding numbers to the nearest 10  Ex. 54 rounds down to 50.
• writing numbers in standard form, expanded form, and in words
• related facts.  Ex. 2, 3, 5
• standard addition with regrouping
• standard subtraction with regrouping
• solving word problems using pictures, numbers or words
• representing numbers in different ways  Ex. 11 (in tally marks, in words, in base tens, etc)

Keep in mind, we do A LOT of hands on practise in class, so the review at home is primarily for you to know what we are doing in class.  I review for two full days in class, so students are more than prepared!
