December 13th

We have been doing lots with Art and Science lately.  We read a story called Snowmen at Night and that inspired us to do an Art project. We used oil pastels to make a snowman and some paper towels to smudge the pastels. We shaded the edges to make it look 3D and we included a shadow because we are learning about light and shadows in Science.

We have also been starting to learn about multiplication. We have been doing multiplication thinkboards to practice lots of strategies to solve problems like arrays, 100 charts. drawings, repeated addition and using known facts.We have been practice our 2 and 3 times tables when we do 2 minute math. We have also been playing some math games.

Our Winter Concert is at 4:45 - 6pm on Thursday December 20th. We have been practicing dancing with 3 Left Feet.

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.

Hello, This week for Math we will be using Prodigy  prodigygame . Prodigy is a Maths game where students answer math questions in order to cast spells and collect points. 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
