Enrollment Mass and Math Assessment


First Communion Enrollment Mass is this Sunday at 11:30am at St. Anthony of Padua Church. The children will sit up at the front and parents can sit a few rows back. It's basically the same as the Reconciliation Enrollment Mass we had in January.  Students should wear their uniform if possible. It looks nice and distinguishes the children as belonging to our school community. I'd recommend arriving 10 minutes early in order to get a nice seat.


As mentioned before we will have a Math test next Monday. It is a review of Unit 3. It's designed more to look at strategies and how to do the questions than just throwing out addition and subtraction facts. It will cover:
Math Test Unit 3: Addition and Subtraction to 18

Able to use different strategies such as using doubles, making 10, one more, one less, two more, two less, building on a known double, addition for subtraction
to determine basic addition facts to 18 and related subtraction facts.

equal and not equal
such as:

4 + 2 (equals/not equals) 8 - 2

5 + 7 (equals/not equals) 11

Word Problems for addition and subtraction up to 18.
