Happy Monday Parents!
We had a very eventful day here in Grade 3. We began the day
with math; I have sent home a math review sheet for our upcoming test on
Thursday. We started our math class today with a mini lesson based on the first
question on the Review Part 2 page I have sent home. We spent a great deal of
class time on this so the class should be able to do this at home without
assistance. The second question on the last review page will be covered in
class tomorrow. For the rest of the period we worked on subtraction strategies
as it is a tricky concept, tomorrow we will be working on subtraction word
problems.
After math we worked on Language. We began with spelling
words, the spelling test this week will be on Thursday so please ensure the spelling
work is completed and returned by Thursday. After spelling we had a lesson to
introduce our new learning profile trait for the month of
October-knowledgeable. We brainstormed what being knowledgeable means and then
read a story about a woman who was very knowledgeable about her children. After
reading the story the students demonstrated their understanding of being knowledgeable
by writing about something they are knowledgeable about in their journals. They
then discussed how being knowledgeable leads to independence. All of the
students worked very hard in their journals.
After recess, lunch, and French, we worked on UOI. We began
with brainstorming about Bike Safety. The class came up with some very
important safety rules for riding their bikes! Next we learned proper hand
signals for riding your bike when you are turning left or right or stopping. We
played a fun game of Simon Says to demonstrate our learning of the hand
signals. Afterward we worked on drawing a diagram of both a personal safely
riding a bike and a person unsafely riding their bikes. The students had to
write about each picture to show that they understand proper bike safety!
After second lunch and recess we had music and gym, we then
came back to compelte agendas before kiss and ride.
