Classroom Update
Math - We continued reading and interpreting graphs this week. We also continued working on multi-step word problems and algebra questions.
Home Practise: Students can work on multiplication and division facts to increase speed and accuracy. They are encouraged to quickly review some that they already know and spend more time with facts they find more challenging. Students should also feel confident with multi-digit subtraction at this point of grade 3.
Language Arts - During word work this week, we focused on adjectives and adverbs. In order to know what our adjectives and adverbs are, we also had to remember how to find nouns and verbs in sentences. We also completed some descriptive writing where the focus was adjectives and adverbs.
Science - We continued to focus on simple machines. This week we built structures with simple machines using Knex kits and also started designing a moving machine for a project that combines science and social studies.
Social Studies - This week we focused on reviewing the promise of treaties and how that has affected the structure of Alberta.
