Ask your child about the learning we did this week....

Art:

We stepped out of our comfort zone and completed a continuous line drawing assignment.  Check out the fabulous results: 

Social Studies:

Exports - Imports  The class was divided into countries and each "country" discussed what resources are needed to obtain the best quality of life.  Then the students had a chance to trade resources. Ask you child all about this experience.

Literacy:

We continued working on Show don't Tell writing.   Each student took part in creating posters to support this writing. 

QUEST Theatre:

Quest theatre shared a wonderful play about spreading kindness to each other.  The students made paper snowballs to add to this experience.

Willy Wonka:

As the entire school prepares for our Spring Concert we had an opportunity to watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with ALL the other Grade 3 classes.

We started writing using SHOWING not TELLING. We worked in groups and read paragraphs then matched the paragraph with an emotion.

We completed our Jamboards. Our Jamboard included information about exports, imports and natural resources from Peru, Tunisia, Ukraine or India. Ask your child to share their Jamboard with you.

SCIENCE:

We attempted to "prove" that sound causes vibrations.  We set up an experiment using sugar, plastic wrap, a tin can and we made A LOT of NOISE.  (Some of us observed the sugar moving).

Ask your child about the learning we did this week......

Math:

• We continued learning about division and dividing items into EQUAL groups.
• Fact Families and Array Art kept us busy.

Science:

• Pitch was the focus during our science experiments.  We used a ruler to make sound and connected this to low and high sounds (pitch).
• We worked in a groups and created different pitch sounds by using elastic bands and a tin can.  We discovered that thick and thin elastics/tight and loose elastics create a different pitch.
• We concluded our sound hunt, measuring sounds and reflecting on how to protect our ears.
