This is what is going on in Grade 3 this week! Please use these topics as a guideline if you are doing any extra work with your child at home.
Reading: Students should be reading for at least 20 minutes per night and talking about what they have read. They should focus on orally retelling the story and making connections with what they have read (personal connections, connections to the world and connections to other print or media texts).
Writing: Students are working on letter writing. A focus is on proper letter writing format (letters should have a greeting, a detailed body and a closing/signature).
Math: Students are working on creating, extending and explaining geometric and growing/shrinking number patterns. Our next focus will be on 2D shapes. Students can work on identifying regular and irregular polygons.
Science: Our students are learning about plants. We will be introducing the parts of a plant and their functions (leaf, stem, root, flower).
Social Studies: We are continuing to learn about Canada's First Nations people. Students should take time to reflect on how their life today is similar to and different from that of the Wendat/Anishinabe.
Happy Learning!
