        Welcome back to another week in 3G! Our daily routine will fluctuate this week due to the many activities planned. Students are invited to wear their pyjama’s or a funny Christmas sweather Friday. They may also choose to bring a teddy or doll if they would like. Also,  myself and Madame Prince are planning on having a class breakfast Friday. A notice will be sent home Monday in regards to the event.  French - This week, we will write a short procedural text about hot chocolate. My goal is to have this short assignment completed by Thursday, so that we can enjoy some hot chocolate and candy canes in class. Please ensure reading occurs nightly and that students are recording their books into their reading logs. I have extra copies in class once their first sheet is complete. Math- Students will be writing their second unit test of the year. Their test will be sent home to be signed and returned once corrected.  The adding and subtracting unit will be revisited in the spring providing students the opportunity to expand their knowledge even further. We continue to provide support for our answers and learn to write out our answers in French The remainder of our time will be used to review our past 2 units that have been covered thus far. We continue to practice our numbers orally up to 1000 and mental math strategies (i.e. doubles +/- 1, 2 etc, making 10, estimation, rounding). Our “Tour du Monde” mental math activity has been a success with students in class and they really enjoy learning their +/- facts. Reminders: - Reading is to occur nightly. Please record on sheet. - Please sign your child’s agenda to let me know you have reviewed homework. - Please ensure library books are returned this week. I will collected them and hand them to our librarian. - St. Andrew’s Christmas Concert is Tuesday, December 16th   Let's have a great week! As always, if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
