Today was a busy day and it was raining outside!! We began our day with Read to Self. I reviewed the Read to Self behaviours and then we began. While Grade 4s were Reading to Self, I was testing Grade 3 students. We then read one chapter of "Charlotte's Web." Please ask your child what the character Wilbur tried to build... After recess we went to the Commons Room to build a plant tower with the group "Food Share." Please ask your child about this and what they planted.
After lunch, we worked on a math lesson on writing in expanded form, standard form and in the value of each number. We reviewed a Khan Academy video and together we solved 10 problems related to the video. Please see the blog post from two days ago for the video link. We then worked in our JUMP Math workbooks. After recess we took our guest turtles out for a spin around the classroom. We discussed the way they walk, their size, the length of their nails and several students shared research about turtles and their habitat. Please ask your child how long a sea turtle can become! The answer is surprising. We then drew pictures of our turtles (either a birds-eye view or side view) and glued them into our art workbooks.
Our Terry Fox run was postponed until tomorrow due to the rain.
