Hello room one parents,

This week was short one but a good one,

This week:
-We are about halfway through our class"Sideways Stories", as we focus on editing and integrating details into our writing.
-In Math we have begun applying our arrays in order to solve multiplication problems
-In Social Studies we have started talking about the First Nations peoples of Alberta
-IN reading we are starting on reader's theatre scripts!

Next week:
-We will be continuing to write and share our class short stories
-In reading, students will begin to select a reader's theatre story to present
-In math, students will practice building larger arrays and using doubling strategies in order to answer more advance multiplication questions

Information items:
-In the classroom, students have the opportunity to use computers for guided reading, as well as doing research. The classroom headphone set is mostly donated from Westjet and we don't currently have a full set. If you are interested, you can send a set of headphones in a labelled ziplock bag.

-As we continue our work with multiplication, it is a great idea to practice it at home! Working on skip counting by 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s for the grade threes, and for the grade 4s, additionally counting by 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s and 8s

That's all from me, have a great weekend!
-Dallin
