Classroom Update
Math - We continued exploring transformations this week. This week we focused on rotations. A rotation spins around a rotation point. We also continued to solve word problems and work on telling time.
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 - We continued to work on poetry this week. This week we focused on a different kind of poem called Haiku. Haiku's focus on the amount of syllables in each line. We also started writing a short story this week. Students chose a picture they were interested in and then decided what kind of a story they could write that went along with the picture.
Science - Our focus continued to be on food chains / food webs. We continued working on our posters that show a real food chain / web that exists somewhere in the world. Now we are also working on what adaptations plants and animals have that help them survive and find food or protect themselves from predators (example rabbits have eyes on the sides of their head so they can see 360 degrees and potentially get away from predators)
Social Studies - Students continued to explore the 3 levels of government and what responsibilities each level has.
