Another week quickly comes and goes! It was nice to be able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air during our recess times this week!
In Mathematics, students continue to work on open ended word problems and being able to figure out various ways to solve the problems. We are also started to look at multiplication and seeing how it acts just like repeated addition with the same number being added a certain amount of times.
In writing, the students had to take an event from their lives and then write about it using transition words to start each sentence to let the reader know what happened in the beginning, middle and end. Also, we talked about taking our planning pages and adding more details to flesh out our sentences with triple scoop words to make the special event come to life for our readers.
In Science, we continued to look at the effects of water and how it can erode the landscape around it. Students saw first hand the devastation that can come take place in many parts in the world when all the trees are cut down on the sides of hills. This can cause great property loss as a result of landslides bringing down water and mud onto populated areas below.
In Social Studies, we looked at our four countries of study in Grade Three and talked about how access to services can vary greatly from place to place and even within a country depending if a place is rural or urban. Students also learned about the many services we have available to us within Calgary that greatly effect our quality of life.
As we head into next week, the students will be receiving their rapid test kits on Monday and the teachers who are running the auditions for the speaking parts for Grade Two and Three students should know the students who will be chosen for the speaking parts. Remember to wear formal uniforms on Monday and see everyone bright and early for school! Enjoy your Sunday!
