Here are some quick updates about what we have been up to lately in 3F! 😊
📘 Math - We are working on our place value skills in math class. We have been learning how to write 2 and 3 digit numbers in standard form, expanded form, picture form/base ten blocks, and number words/written form. We are ensuring that we record our numbers carefully to help us recognize how the placement represents the value of each digit. We have also been representing numbers with our base ten blocks kits. This skill will set the foundation for success with 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction. Ask your child to show you an example! 😊
Example:
Standard Form: 364
Expanded Form: 300 + 60 + 4 = 364
Written Form: three hundred sixty-four
Base Ten Blocks:
📙 Language Arts -
Word Sorts - Students have completed a 2 week rotation working in small groups on sorts at their current spelling levels. They are becoming more and more familiar with our daily word sort spelling activities as we go.
Writing - As Thanksgiving and Halloween approach, we will be working on some fun seasonal writing projects.
Reading - As always, daily reading remains a priority for students at school and at home. Thank you for all of your support with home reading! The kids really enjoyed their bubble gum reward party today! 🍬
📕 Social - We are finished our Imagination Islands in Social Studies and have now switched to Science for the month of October.
📗 Science - We have started our study of rocks and minerals! If you, or anyone you know, has a geology background or an impressive rock collection, please let me know as it is always fun to enhance our learning with a visit from a local expert!
🌏 We made clay models of the Earth today for Science/Art! Ask your child how they made it and what each coloured layer of the Earth is called!
