Monday January 6

Welcome back!

I hope all room 7 families has a restful holiday and enjoyed the nice weather. Students were very excited to share some of the things they did over the break. I heard a lot about new video games, skiing and sledding.

Today was a day of reflection and getting back into the routines of the classroom. We discussed that January is always a fresh start and it is a great time to make changes to things that are not working.

For example, as a class we discussed that reading in the morning is not working. Some students are fully engaged and others benefit from direct support. As a group we came up with a new routine that will help support all students and will allow me the opportunity to work with all students on their reading more often than I have in the past. We will work through it for the next 4 weeks and then make any tweeks that may emerge.

In Science we began our inquiry into hearing and sound. Students watched a small video (5 minutes) that introduced how our ears and brains work together to hear and identify sounds. Our focus today was to generate questions that can guide our work for the next part of the year.

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.

Week 7

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   Thank you to  all  our parents and caregivers for your continued support and encouragement as we plan, review, meet and assess our students.  It is just as much a learning curve for you as it has been for us and our students. We wouldn’t be able to be as successful as we are without you. The grade three teachers  appreciate the feedback received from parents through the survey and are continuing to modify and enhance our planning to make things easier for everyone.  The  survey  is  still available for those  who would still like to contribute their feedback.   It   should take only a few moments.    Link to  s urvey:   Grade 3 Parent Feed Back Survey     Week  7  Learning Plan:     Week 7 Learning Plan Link     Reminders:     Monday:  Meet up 1pm – Go through the week’s assignmen...
