Language Arts –
The
class has just finished writing an instructional paragraph explaining how to
wrap a present. Now hopefully you’ll get some help with your Christmas wrapping
this year ;) As we finish up our Christmas book study, students are practicing
the art of writing well written sentences to answer questions and learning that
speaking rules are much different than writing rules.
Science
– The
grade three students participated in hands-on science experiments in the first
part of our new Building and Testing Designs unit. Using supplies, you graciously donated,
students have been crushing their building challenges. Be sure to chat with your
child about their experience! J
Math – Currently we are
exploring number sense further in preparation for the operations of addition
and subtraction using 2 & 3–digit numbers.
It is important to take our time learning the next two units as many
students are developing their personal strategies for problem solving and re-grouping
numbers.
Social Studies – The class has
been enthusiastically learning about the geography of our planet. Your child is
exploring different ways to read and interpret maps. Students have explored
using a globe and compared globes to maps. Before the unit ends students will
create their own map!
Health – We have just
begun the study of relationships and how healthy friendships and family life contribute
to our wellbeing and quality of life.
Students are enjoying the new program!
