October 19th


This week we started learning how to dribble in our basketball unit in gym. We crouch down, we bend our knees and bounce with the ball, we use soft spider fingers and our hand tries to follow the ball down and up.

We started doing our subtraction unit and we learned how to estimate, we used pictures to solve. We learned how to start at the small number and count up to the big number to get the difference.

We learned how to be Code Breakers for reading. That is when we find interesting or unknown words and phrases when we read. We learned how finding these words and phrases would help our own writing because writers use really great words.

April 16

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone that we are having our first Google Meet tomorrow at 11 am. If you have not been able to log onto Google Classroom please contact me and I will try to help out however I can. To get onto Google Classroom log onto your student email in the same way that you would get onto Google Docs at school. I should have sent you a class invite. Remember this week we are using Raz Kids for Reading and Prodigy for Math and it would be wonderful if you were practicing your multiplication facts. Grade 3's need to know up to 5 x 5 and the grade 4's need to know up to 7 x 7. We will be using these skills next week when we begin using Google Classroom. Have a great day.

I have assigned questions related to Math concepts that we have covered in class. Once those questions have been answered the program chooses appropriate additional questions based on the students ability level. It is important not to give too much support when students are answering the questions otherwise the program will continue to give out even more challenging questions.  How to help If you notice that they are having trouble with a questions, let them answer but then show them on a piece of paper either what the question is asking or how you might solve the problem. Also near the top of the question there is a prompt button that will give a clue and some math tools such as pens and 100 charts that can also support them. To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts with your c
