December 5th - 9th

 Sorry for not posting on Friday this week.

There will be no pictures this week because we started many things but no final products. Which means this coming week's blog will be loaded; so be on the look out for that!

Math - We started graphing. We talked, analyzed, and created some bar graphs as well as some line plots. We will be continuing this next week as well.

English - We have officially finished our personal walking stories (stories that are about our favourite...). We have begun to write about our event stories. Event stories are stories that take place within a day's time, are real, featuring you, and has no problems. We talked about how to plan for an event story and did a few examples as a class. The class also learned about transition words and how they help our stories move along. In this coming week, we will be diving deeper about how to add details and stretching our moments!

Social Studies - The grade 3s have officially started Peru! So far, we have only talked about where Peru is, what the flag looks like, what language they speak, and what their geography is like. We are in the middle of making a landscape poster that we will hopefully finish but the end of this week.

Gym - We started volleyball. We went through bumping, setting and a bit of serving. We will be working on these skills this week as well and hopefully we can get into some games with a beach ball then eventually a volleyball!

Reminders

1. I sent homework home so please make sure that gets done!

2. Students should be reading the leveled reading books I sent home! If they are done please bring them back so I can give them new ones. When reading, it's best that they read aloud whether it be a sibling, parent, stuffy, or even just to a wall; it really makes a difference.

3. Library time will be on Tuesday this week as usual so please remember to bring the books back!

Students learned about the structure of persuasive writing (what? why? why? why? what again?), how to use persuasive words, as well as including 3 reasons or examples in each of their whys. The topic students wrote about was whether if I should get a classroom pet and what pet should I get? Reading- For reading, we have been working on visualization.
