Classroom Update
Math - In math this week, we continued to work on multiplication and division. Students are practising their facts and showing they can figure out problems using multiplication and division.
Home Practise: Students can work on multiplication facts to increase speed and accuracy. They are encouraged to quickly review some that they already know and spend more time with more difficult facts.
Language Arts - Our focus this week was on continuing our research in science and social studies using research from books, printed booklets and sources on the computer. Students also started writing a "winter" story. Many have chosen the North Pole as their inspiration.
Science - In our Earth Systems unit this week, we continued to explore the crust of Earth. We continued to focus on fossils this week and how things become fossilized. We worked on dinosaur cards and also created our own dinosaur based on what we learned. There are some incredibly ferocious, huge dinosaurs forming in grade 3. We also built fossils (see below)
Social Studies - Students finished working on a pamphlet of their favourite Alberta region. We have learned a lot about the 6 regions of Alberta. So many amazing places to see and hopefully visit someday!
Here are a couple of our "dinosaur" fossils.
