Week of May 23rd

May 23rd, 2019

Greetings Parents,

We hope everyone had a wonderful LONG weekend. And guess what… It’s already Thursday! We have a very short week ahead of us. Tomorrow (Friday) is our Swim Carnival. We will be Wet n Wild on Friday morning!

Save the date: On Tuesday, June 11th  from 8:15-9:15 a.m., Grade Three will host a Poetry Parent Share. We look forward to seeing you then!

Reading This week students will continue to explore all the different types of poems. We will investigate famous poets as well as student poetry from around the world.  Students will continue to read poems and notice the way the author’s craft their poems and try out those moves in their own poems.

Writing Students will write poems trying a few different ways of breaking up their lines, choosing where they put words and how they use white space.

Math Students will continue to work on fractions. Students will be comparing fractions using the greater than and less than signs, < = >. They will continue to work on ways to recognize and show that equivalent fractions have the same size, though not necessarily the same shape.

Science Students will continue to investigate the Maglev Train and how unbalanced forces cause the train to come down. The students loved making a paper clip float and then trying to make it move WITHOUT touching. Students will continue to investigate and conduct trials to look at magnetic force and distance.

No HOME LEARNING THIS WEEK!

Except Remember: Reading is just what we do. It is expected each night.
