 Hello families, 

In class this week we spent some time editing writing to make it more descriptive. Students created their own unique snowmen and then brainstormed descriptive words to paint a picture in the listener's mind. 

In Math, grade 3 student's built on their number sense with numbers to 10, 000. We spent time representing numbers as well as comparing and ordering numbers. 

In Science we have just wrapped up our hearing and sound unit and students have been demonstrating their knowledge of how the ear works in phys. ed. with movement. Students also used Ipads to scan QR codes to learn about how different animals are able to hear. 

Have a great weekend, 

Mr. Jackson

 Hello families, 

This week in literacy we discussed as a class realistic fiction stories. We identified what makes a story realistic fiction and what we would expect to read in such a story. Students then began to brainstorm their own stories and have started working on an engaging introductions to hook their readers. In writing, we continue to work on ensuring our stories have sentences that end with a period, question mark or an exclamation point. 

Notes for next week:

 Monday, December 5th Library book return day
