Wednesday
Happy Wednesday!
A peek inside of our classroom the past few days...
In math, we have been reviewing the subtraction strategies that we have learned through games and word problem discussions. Ask me to explain the process for solving word problems! Checkout: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Three-Digit-Addition-and-Subtraction-Race-to-the-Answer-651360 to try the math game that we played this week - see Race to Zero. We have also discussed how to check our work using addition. This part is still a particularly challenging concept but we will continue to practice over the next while!
In language arts, we discussed writing with different sentence starters. Today, we began reading The Red Bicycle - great story about how one person's actions can positively impact the lives of others. We have also practiced setting and discussing various literacy related goals through our Daily 5 time. During this time, the students primarily practice reading to someone, reading to self, word work, and writing.
In science, we have been hard at work researching and comparing animal and human hearing. This has not been an easy task as we are just beginning to learn how to extract important information and compile this information into a document on the computer. Nevertheless, we are up for the challenge! As we discussed last week, by persevering through challenges we are growing our brains!
Reminders/Updates:
- Popcorn Day again tomorrow (January 18th)
- Fun lunch on Friday
- Book fair next week in the library! Our class will have the opportunity to purchase books on Wednesday! (January 20th)
- The grade three team will be leading the assembly on Friday February 2nd - stay tuned for more information!
