Friday
Happy Friday!
We ended the week with a great assembly put on by our grade 3 students! Ask you child to explain what was discussed at the assembly - ways to make a new friend, how to problem solve, and ways to show kindness.
In math this week, we continued to look at multiplication strategies including equal groups, repeated addition, and skip counting. Ask your child to explain what the numbers in the following equation 3 x 5 mean. How do you know how to solve the problem? We also practiced our fluency with multiplication facts through a game called "Rock, Paper, Math". Ask your child to teach you how to play!
In science, we applied our knowledge of hearing and sound to various experiments using materials such as elastics, bottles with different amounts of water, and straws. All of the experiments can easily be conducted with materials found around the house. Ask you child to demonstrate how one of these experiments works! Hint: think about the pitch and volume - how are the vibrations altered through the use of different materials?
During our literacy block, we have been discussing transition words and phrases and how we can use these to improve our writing. We will be practicing this through procedural writing in the coming while! Stay tuned for the results.
Reminders:
- Please return library books - we have book exchange on Monday in the Learning Commons
- No school Thursday February 15th, Friday February 16th, and Monday February 19th (Family Day)
