One person can make a difference.
Happy Saturday everyone!
What a wonderful week of learning in room 75! As we continue to develop our literacy skills, the students are tasked with writing for a variety of purposes each week. One type of writing we have been practicing is personal narratives - writing about ourselves and our thoughts and ideas about the world. We are thinking and writing about what it means to improve the world and how we might be able to make a difference.
The students have also been writing to inform - a type of non-fiction writing that shares facts and information. And we have begun developing metaphors, which we will expand into descriptive paragraphs. In addition to spelling, capitalization, and punctuation, students are asked to consider sentence variety, descriptive details, and paragraph structure.
Mathematical learning has the students developing and improving their addition strategies and applying these strategies to increasingly complex word problems. They are learning how to decide what information they need to solve a problem and what information they don't need!
In Social Studies, we are finishing up our work on landforms and mapping so that we can be ready to build salt dough topographical maps of our Grade 3 countries of study (Peru, India, Ukraine, Tunisia, and China). If you are interested in helping out in the classroom on Thursday afternoon next week please send me an email!
Science work is connected to our Panda inquiry and the students are exploring the life cycle of red pandas and great pandas. Our class trip to the zoo is months away but excitement is already starting to build.
Please sign up for Parent Teacher Interviews Thursday (4-7) or Friday (8-12). You are able to book a time through your myCBE account. The bookings are open now and will close on Wednesday. If you have any questions please let us know.
Have a great weekend and we'll hopefully see you next week at Parent Teacher Conferences!
