Hi parents,
We had a really great day today. In the morning, we read 'The Dot' (because it was Dot Day), and then students did a quick reading comprehension activity. Then we finished up our Dot Art, which has been added to a school-wide collaborative art display which you can come see at the Welcome Back Pancake Fest on Thursday!
We did Spelling Sentences, and this week, the 'twist' was 'Varied Length'. This means the students needed to ensure each of their sentences was a different number of words. We talked about how varying the length of sentences makes writing sound more engaging and interesting.
In the afternoon, we had Gym, and then did a Social Studies activity in which the students were given a blank map, and asked to label it. They had to first figure out what country it was, and how to find the information they needed. The students did an amazing job with this, and worked so well together to solve these problems and complete their maps in an exceptional way. It was a map of Canada.
In Math, the Grade 3s are showing an excellent early understanding of addition, and the Grade 4s are busy reviewing fractions, decimals, multiplication, and division. I feel like in previous years I've waited to long to teach these things, and its been like starting from scratch, but I'm finding this time around they seem to be recalling more from last year.
Have a nice day,
Zac
