This week your student is starting to work through adding and subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers in math. It is sometimes necessary to regroup or borrow 10 ones as 1 ten, or rename 10 tens as 1 hundred. We focus on the old school way we were taught in school. For example when adding 124+189, you must regroup twice, carrying the extra ones over to the top of the tens and the extra tens to the top of the hundreds. Some good remembers for this class is bigger number on top, add the ones first, then the tens, then the hundreds, and making sure everything is lined up correctly. It takes some practice to get this all down.
Here are some resources for extra help.

- The whole left column on https://www.splashmath.com/math-skills/third-grade would be good practice.
- https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic-home/addition-subtraction includes review from second grade and new third grade practice.
This coming week we have Hyvee cooking class on Tuesday. We will leave the classroom at 2:15, let me know if you would like to walk over with us so I don't leave you behind. Our Sanford MOOD talk will be on Thursday morning. We will also have 3rd grade school pictures on Thursday.
Book reports are right around the corner on October 26. Please double check that your student is reading a chapter book and hopefully getting close to the end.
Thank you for everything you do and blessings on all God brings you to and through for this coming week.
