Happy Friday Parents!
We had such a wonderful day in grade 3! When the students
arrived this morning they had a big surprise planned for me! They all hid
behind their desks and jumped up when I entered the room to say Happy Birthday!
They then led me to a chair where they gave me such lovely homemade gifts and
cards they had all signed! It almost made me cry! They all worked together so
well to give me such a wonderful surprise for my birthday this weekend!
After my surprise we had some fun with math by using pipe cleaners
to make the “greater than” and “less than” symbols. We then worked together to
identify if a number was greater than or less than another using the alligator analogy
(the alligator wants to eat the greater number).
After math did our spelling test and then we had time to
practice for the Christmas concert, we practiced using our biggest and clearest
voices while saying our lines! Please parents if you could let me know if
students will not be attending the Christmas concert as soon as possible, as we
are doing a play and all of the students have speaking roles (so they would be
very missed if they won’t be able to make one of the shows!, and I will have to
make other arrangements!).
After lunch, recess, and French we worked on expanding our
knowledge of forces and push and pull forces. We began with our friend Caitlyn
reading a forces book that she got at the library, she was given an action
award for using what we are learning in class and doing something to expand her
knowledge or make use of her learning at home! After she read to the class we
came up with a definition for push and pull. The class then had a scavenger
hunt and were required to identify movements that required only a push, only a
pull, or both! Then we had some extra fun, we used scooters and skipping ropes
to push and pull our friends around the hallway and to see the difference and
determine if one was easier or harder than another.
We ended the day with music adn gym before completing agendas and heading off to kiss and ride!
