End of the week September 9th - 13th

Math
After learning all about measuring perimeter and using rulers. We have moved onto learning about mass. We found out that mass is measuring how much something weighs. We found out that grams (g) don't weigh very much but that we can use them to measure pencils and erasers and small things. We also learned that we use kilograms (kg) to weigh heavier things like people and dictionaries because they are 1000g.

We started our new spelling lists this week. Some of us were working on long and short vowels. Others were working on some initial spelling blends. There is a group who is learning that the suffix ed can make a d sound, a t sound or an id sound. One group was learning about the suffixes ion and ian.

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.

April 14 - 17th Math

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
