Dear Students and Parents,
Today we relaunch our monthly `Calendar Homework. (We took a break from it when we were doing Virtual Learning in January and to give you time to adjust to being back at school in February.)
Here is a reminder of how to get into the Monthly homework:
Login to Hapara workspace (you will see it on this blog.)
Click the workspace that says Grade 2 Monthly Homework Calendars for Grade 2, or Grade 3 Monthly Homework Calendars for Grade 3.
In the second column under `Homework Calendars` the first one you will see is March Homework; click the Google Doc and you will see the calendar.
Tonight's homework for Wednesday, March 9th is Math Exercise 1. For this one you will need to print a copy of the page, complete it and then email it to me when you are done. (You can also copy out the questions on lined paper, do the questions and send it to me that way if you don't have a printer.)
Tonight is a review of addition with regrouping (trading) . Sometimes when students are doing subtraction in class they can mix it up with addition. Remember that with adding we sometimes need to regroup (trade because we have too many ones or tens.) Here is a video reviewing it.

Remember that with the calendar you can plan ahead and do exercises earlier.
Have a great night!
Mr. D:)
Dear Students,
I hope that you enjoyed the sunshine today when we did our outdoor gym!

Dear Students,
I hope you had a great start to the week!
We all definitely miss Colton. He and his family will appreciate all of your prayers, thoughts and well-wishes as he recovers from his injury. Thank you for the great Get Well cards you worked on Friday. If you have not given me your card or completed it, you can hand one in to Mr. D and I will make sure he gets the virtual version of the card. Get Well Soon Colton!
Today you got your first chance to try double-digit subtraction with borrowing. You did well for a first lesson! Remember not to get discouraged if you don't completely understand it right away. It often takes a few lessons and practice to learn it. Here is a song you can view to help you with the concept:
