SWIMMING STARTS TUESDAY - don't forget your swimsuit and towel!
Classroom Update
Math - We continued working on pre-algebra questions this week. We also solved some problems and answered some questions using information on graphs.
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 the suffixes "tion" and "sion". In writing, students continued working on a "graphic novel" representing parts of a novel they have read or I have read to them this year.
Science - Our focus continued to be on food chains. We played a big game of predator/prey outside where we all had different roles. Some students were producers while others were consumers. Each student had a role and could only tag the students that represented their "food".
Social Studies - Students reviewed the municipal and provincial levels of government this week. They also learned about all of the symbols that represent Alberta.
*PREDATOR / PREY GAME - depending on the weather next week, we are planning on playing our game at a different park close to the school. The park we are planning on visiting is the princess / pirate park which gives us opportunities to use the trees and equipment as part of our game.
