I hope you are all relaxing on this fine Sunday! On Friday we had a very busy day in Grade 3! We began our day with our Measurement Math Test. The students worked VERY hard to answer some pretty tricky questions! We had some students away on Friday and I will mark and return all tests after everyone has completed theirs.
In language we worked on identifying main ideas and supporting details from a non-fiction text. Students were required to read a text and underline the main idea and supporting details in different colours and then write out both in a graphic organizer. This activity was to help them practice for their reading comprehension homework and develop essential reading skills! Students were sent home non-fiction texts this weekend for reading comprehension!
After lunch and recess we had UOI where we began our new unit called "Country Mouse City Mouse" students seemed really excited about our new unit where we will learn about and develop a deeper understanding of the organization within a country versus a city. We began the unit by reading "Town Mouse, City Mouse", and "From Here to There" that compare the city versus the country. The class then used the new books in the classroom to develop an "I wonder..." statement and "I know. and I want to know" for our UOI board.
We ended the day with a few more Forces and Motion presentations before gym, completing agendas and heading off to kiss and ride!
Important Reminders:
- Sign and return Spelling Test
- Reading Comprehension (the task was to read the non-fiction book and identify the main idea/three supporting details) There is a small half paper located in journals detailing the assignment.
