Today we did the morning message and we filled in missing words from the morning message. We also reviewed area and perimeter, and tried to identify a 3d solid by looking at the faces of a shape before it is assembled.
We then had Drama/DPA with Ms. Leung. It was warm enough today for a full length recess!
After recess, we did our Math activities. Children created boxes, solved multiplication and division problems, some found the area of cut out shapes, and the Gr. 3's looked at pictographs that had a scale that meant more than one.
After lunch we went to the computer lab. We started off by working on some keyboarding skills. We ended the period early as it was very loud and numerous interruptions made it difficult to teach the next lesson so we returned to class and will try again another day.
We worked on our Literacy activities. One group looked at adjectives used to describe nouns. One group worked with me retelling a story, one group completed their science sheet on forces and one group did penmanship.
Last period we started an activity that will review what we learned in Soc. Studies. In pairs, or alone students are going to make a map of an invented city/town. They are to use legend to show what is shown on their maps. Their maps are to include places for people to live, ,work, play and industry. It should also include things that we need in a community ( schools, hospitals, parks, banks etc.). Today we chose partners ( or not) and did a rough copy so that negotiating happened before the good copy was attempted.
HOMEWORK: Spelling 18 sentences ( or next two pages if completing lessons)
Read.
