Your help is needed…

fmellenthin / / General Studies, Homework

Good Morning Grade 3 parents!

We will be starting/continuing our Structures: Strong and Stable unit this week and I am sending out an official call for recycled supplies to assist in our building efforts!

Thank you to those who have already began sending in (washed out!) plastic and cardboard (I assume your eager children have passed on the message!)

If you have any cardboard from cereal boxes to paper towel tubes or plastic items – soda or water bottles to (clean) yogurt pots, I will gladly accept. We have a box in the classroom where students can drop off their supplies.

As always as questions, just email or leave a comment below.

fmellenthin / / General Studies

Hurray! It’s here…and aren’t we all excited!?

Grade 3 are (hopefully) going to have a sneak peak today and create their wish lists for you to see at home.

We, Grade 3, will be going on Wednesday 4th December Period 2 so if books are to be purchased please send in money on Monday.

Remember you (students) will be able to visit the Book fair before and after school and at recess times and I am hoping to plan another visit later in the week when there is another free time slot. The book fair will be open throughout parent/teacher conferences so parents are able  to visit also.

Any questions, please let me know.

fmellenthin / / General Studies, Homework

Hello Grade 3 and Grade 3 parents,

Please find below the following options for homework this week. Remember only one piece is expected but you complete as many as you wish.

This our final week of Data Management focus in Math class. We will be moving onto Measurement. Option 1 for Math is a pre learning task. Students are asked to create a mind map of “what do I know about measurement”.

If students are still wanting to practise data management skills here are a variety of word challenge tasks:


Science Homework is also looking at bringing knowledge into the class, ready to add to our new Structures unit. Here are some videos about strength and stability:
You task is to watch and create a visual of what your have learnt. That could be a poster, a flipgrid (ask Miss M for the QR or passcode) or a video. Pick a graphic organiser to help record your information as you watch.
Finally, Social studies homework. Create a rural and urban living chart (pick a hard copy from Miss M) and record examples of rural and urban living in your everyday life.
If you wish to complete a book review – please pick up a template from Miss M or create your own at home.
Any questions, as always please email or leave a comment!
Thanks,
Miss M

Weekly math quiz!

fmellenthin / / General Studies, Homework

Guess who’s back!? Our weekly math quiz! (YEEEEYYY!) After our holiday month of October and CAT-4 testing, we will get back into our routine of math quiz Thursday. Math homework will be set the week before (Last week’s homework: data management will be the focus of this Thursday’s quiz) I will always set a homework linked to the focus and extra work can be requested.

Please find below extra practise. Paper copies are available from Miss M.

Fun times this week in Grade 3

fmellenthin / / General Studies

Where are these weeks going? I cannot believe we are in November and there is snow! The week began with a completion of our Science celery experiment. This experiment look at celery cell makeup and how water is soaked up through the celery plant and what would happen if a ‘foreign’ addition to the water (food colouring). The plant was left for 1 week to soak up the water and dye and then dissect the plant to investigate what was happening inside.

We then had a class workshop with Brigitte looking at the Rings of Responsibility we all have when online. Students needed to think about how and what they responsible for in their lives, in their community and in the wider world.

     

Finally, we are coming to the end of our data management unit in Math. We are not re-capping our skills of collecting data and tallying, representing our data in a graph of our choice then we will present the data showing the conclusions we have reached. Exciting times for all those budding data analysts in the class!
