Here's what we have been up to:
-In Math we have been doing awesome work with multiplication. Students have been working with a number of strategies and deciding which one works for them best.
-In writing the students are finished their stories for our class book, we plan to have it on display for parent-teacher conferences in two weeks time!
-In reading, the students have been working on their reader's theatre scripts and are getting close to doing readings for other classrooms!
Next Week:
-We have begun learning about the plains First Nations people of Alberta, and we will continue to look at the stories and traditional practices of these groups in the coming week.
-We will continue to practice our multiplication skills while adding the complexity of larger numbers as well as word problems.
-In our reading we will return to looking at non-fiction in terms child-friendly news articles. This will give us a great opportunity to learn about reading for information.
Things of note:
-Please practice skip counting with your child at home! if they are in grade three they should skip count by 2s, 3s and 4s. If they are in grade 4 they should practice counting in 6s, 7s and 8s.
-We are getting ready to start our "Hearing and sound" unit in Science, if you have empty (and rinsed/cleaned) milk jugs, cereal boxes or yogurt containers, we will use them to create instruments!
-Room one is looking for parents who would be willing/have the opportunity to come into the classroom and do some one-on-one reading with students. If this is interests you, please email me at djursenbach@cbe.ab.ca
Have a great weekend!
