Week of Dec 16
Wow! We cannot believe we are in our last week of school of 2019! What an amazing 4 months we have had so far in Grade 3!
Here is a little of what we are working on this week:
Literacy:
Math: We have been applying our addition and subtraction skills to solving different kinds of math problems. We have been working with groups and on our own. We have also been practicing our mental math skills by completing KenKen Puzzles.
Social Studies: We are using the research we did last week on an animal from India to create an animal fact sheet, like we would see at the zoo for our animal. We are using Adobe Spark to create our posters and checking our success criteria to ensure we have included all the information required. We will also be wrapping up our India study with a feast on Thursday. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to send in a dish!
Literacy: Students have started brainstorming ideas for their own holidays. We are looking at questions like: the reason behind the holiday, how it is celebrated, how do people decorate, how often does it take place, does it have special foods associated with it, and so on.
We are also exploring Scratch coding to make electronic music instruments after our trip to the Studio Bell Music Center. We are also experimenting with using coding to inform others about the animals from India students are researching.
Reminder: This Thursday is also Pajama Day in our class. Don't forget to wear your favorite pair of PJ's!
