December 1st Update

Literacy

Students have been working on their expert writing this week. Here is a sample of a Grade 3 expert writing so far. Don't forget, this is only a draft.


Some students choose to take their written work home to complete. There's no weekend journal this week.
















Math






































In Math, students completed a calendar math problem this week on skip counting by 3s, 4s, and 25s.


Here is an example of the math problem. We have gone through this problem in class but please allow your child explain their work to you.

Please review the following with your child:
- skip counting by 3s,4s, and 25s to 1000.
- Strategies to solve addition and subtraction up to 1000 (Gr 3) and 10,000 (Gr 4)
- Play Adding War with your child using a deck of cards to practice their mental math strategies and estimation.

Social Studies
Students have been working on an globalization inquiry project. They have been researching local and global organizations on how to help others. Please ask your child about what their ideas are and what their project is about.

For the whole month of November, students explored the term Peace and Globalization. In their collaborative art piece, students shared what peace means to them. Together, they have created this mural that is displayed outside of the office. Please come check it out!




Physical Education

It has been an exciting week of swimming! Students took the responsibility of taking care of their belongings and many of them expressed their enjoyment. Thank you parent volunteers for your support!
