Welcome back everyone! It was wonderful seeing all the students and hearing about their amazing and fun-filled winter break over our first week back! Thank you to all the students and families who read and worked on their Mathletics. It has made life much easier for the students this past week as many of us were ready to get back into the routine of school and in trying their very best. Thank you for working so hard, Grade 3s!
We enjoyed hearing about our vacations and in sharing these by using some of our past learning – making connections, using description while explaining our break, using the 5Ws and 5 Senses, and simply enjoying hearing about each other (much like we do in our Social Studies). With this said, we have worked very hard in creating a fun Rap for our upcoming Grade 3 Assembly on Global Citizenship. The students have broken into 2 groups and have created some very fun lyrics that relates to our Quality of Life learning from Social Studies. Please continue to work on the song at home and we will continue to practice at school as well. Have fun and EXCELLENT work, Grade 3s! During LA, we have continued to add detail to our writing as we will learn how to connect sentences/paragraphs by using our Transition Words. This will greatly help with our next story writing activities for our Event Stories (sequence, ordinal numbers, etc.). While reading in our Literacy Centers, groups have been working on more difficult stories hoping this will be more challenging for the students and so they are still successful in what they are doing. Many of the students have written some very impressive and imaginative stories this past week and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to them, thank you! In Math, we have reviewed a number of concepts and will continue to explore our past topics by relating them to others (i.e. Addition equations used to figure out Perimeter for shapes). In Science, we have begun our next unit on Rocks and Minerals. Students will be learning about the Earth’s different layers, the Rock Cycle, and the 3 categories of rocks. We have also enjoyed this past week’s PE classes as we learned about Yoga and its many benefits for all.
Please remember to check the weather as the upcoming week looks very cold. Please make sure all students are properly dressed and prepared for the cold temperatures that will be coming next week. Also, on Monday, Jan. 20, 2020 the students in Room 5 will be going to the Glenbow Museum for an all-day field trip with Mr. McVea’s class. Thank you to all the parents who have offered their time and we look forward to our learning with you =;)
Have a great weekend and I am very proud of the work we did this first week back. Always try your best and enjoy your learning! See you on Monday =;)
