1. Tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 21st there will be a math test on Chapter 3. Students have been preparing for this all week. Today they did a practice test, which they have brought home to study also, there is a review on page 28 of their math workbook and on page 97 & 98 of their math textbook that they can do as well.

The topics for the math test will be:

Addition (Always remember to carry the one)

Subtraction (You may have to borrow, so what we always say is "go next door and ask for more")

Estimation (For estimation we usually round the number to the nearest thousand or hundred, we always say "4 and below go down, and 5 and greater go up)

Renaming (For example, if I had 2000-599, I would rename 2000 making it 1999 and then I would subtract 599 and then add 1 to the answer) The purpose of that is so they don't have to borrow.

2. There is Gymnastics tomorrow morning, so please wear gym uniform and bring a bottle of water.

3. Also, I just want to make sure everyone has my email, it is jyoung@stbons.ca
