🏫 Learning Updates:
📘 Math Focus - Daily addition and subtraction practice will continue to be ongoing as we move into a basic introduction to multiplication and division starting soon. We will be learning hands-on, visual strategies to help students make sense of multiplication facts up to 5 x 5 and related division facts.
📙 Literacy Focus - We are continuing our daily balanced literacy routine of word sort spelling tasks, cursive handwriting practice, writing skills, and reading skills.
We finished reading Wizard of Oz as a class and watched the classic 1939 film as well to compare and contrast. Ask your child to tell you their favourite part of both the book and the movie.
In writing, we are currently working on an exciting narrative story about a leprechaun and the mystery of their missing gold. We have a class full of very creative authors! Ask your child to share their story ideas with you. A special way to practice these writing skills at home is to write stories with your child as co-authors and co-illustrators!
📕 Social Studies Focus - We have started learning all about Ukraine in Social Studies! Over the next couple of weeks, we will be learning about the land, climate, fashion, food, celebrations, music, dance, and art! If you or someone you know has any exciting aspects of Ukrainian culture to share, please let me know.
📗 Balancing Animal Science Projects - The balancing animal project pages were sent home originally on Tuesday, February 18th. I have attached a digital copy to this email as well. They are due this coming Monday, March 9th. All students will have the opportunity to present their balancing animal to the class next week. We will transform the grade 3 hallway into a zoo by displaying them above our cubbies for our school community to admire. Thank you for your support!
