We had a great day in Grade 3! We began the morning by sharing stories about how year ahead day went and our favourite moment from grade 4 yesterday! We then had our second review day in class, we worked on money, capacity, and mass today in class. We worked together on questions as a class and then individually worked on questions as well. The math test is tomorrow and will cover calendars, time, temperature, money, capacity, and mass.
In language we learned about writing an informational letter-with a focus on effective brainstorming. We learned about perspective, and thinking about how the reader of your letter is feeling while reading. We then began brainstorming for the topic, "you are inviting a friend over for a sleepover" students had to brainstorm important rules and routines at their house and think about how their friend would be feeling.
After lunch, recess, and french, we spent time doing some more forces and motion presentations, they really are fantastic and it is amazing to see the enthusiasm coming from the students as they explain something they are knowledgeable about, and really enjoyed making.
During second recess I held a study session for students who have been feeling uncomfortable with some concepts from our math unit in order to help them feel more confident. We focused on time and money during this time and those who chose to stay in were very responsible in seeking additional help!
We ended the day with music, and gym before completing agendas and heading off to kiss and ride.
