Friday September 13

Students have had an amazing week. All have worked very hard at completing their work, trying their best and asking for help when unsure of the concept or task. For example, when reviewing place value and comparing numbers, many students were wanting to share how to say a number out loud while challenging themselves to try harder numbers. Students in grade three should be able to say and write (in words) numbers up to 9999 (nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine). This would be a great activity to practice. Spelling counts!

In addition,
"We made regulation spin charts" (AH)
"We are finishing up our art" (JS)
"We learned a math game called pyramid" (CS)
"This week Mrs. Langlois version of soccer" (ST)
"We learned the Scientific Method and put them in our books to make flip charts" (DD)

Reminders
Please book an interview next week. I would love to hear some more information about your children and how I can best support them this year.
There is early dismissal on Thursday and no school on Friday.

Students writing TWAS in the naturalization area.

Students have had an amazing week getting to know each other, the class routines and reviewing concepts taught last year. For example . . . . . . in Math we have been playing two Math games to review place value. Have your child teach you either 'guess my number' or 'place value war'. By the end of grade three students in grade three should be able to understand, represent and say numbers up to the thousands place value (9 999). One of the key things that we worked on when we say numbers is to avoid using the word 'and'. Have your child explain why. . . . in Art we have been reviewing colour. We already know colours but we reviewed which colours are considered primary and secondary colours. We then identified warm and cool colours. We should have our art pieces completed for parent teacher interviews. . . . in writing we are getting back into the groove of remembering capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end of sentences. Students comp...

Thursday Feb. 6

Today in math we learned multiple strategies for multiplication. We learned that skip counting was a good tool for most of the class. for example: 4 x 5=?? 5, 10, 15, 20 Also 5x5= 25.We are only going up to 5x5. We started floor hockey in gym we started using bean bags but recently we switched to pucks.  How we do it is we find a partner and pass the puck or bean bag back and forth, some times we do passing around the gym in a circle and some times we do it up down the gym. We are reading Wonder we are almost done it it is a cool book because it has a bunch of different perspectives by different characters. Mattie, Oliver, Ariah Reminders Field study forms need to be in as soon as possible.

Tuesday October 13

Today at school we had a Math problem. We are suppose to figure out how many pencils might be in two boxes if there is about 500 pencils (TD). We tried multiple strategies to figure out the answer (KC). For example some used a picture, division, and adding. This problem was an easier problem to learn the process of problem solving. In Science we were planning and talking about our field study tomorrow. We get to learn more about the new central library and other interesting buildings around the area. Our purpose for tomorrow field study is to explore different buildings and be able to compare them (GA). At the end of the day today we did exploration time. We had building centers. We were building structures (DD). This is to get us ready for our big project which we will be introduced to next week. Reminders - Tomorrow is our field study - dress for the weather. Only bring items that are needed in our backpack. Leave everything else at home.
