We had such a jam-packed day of learning today in grade 3/4!
We started out a new writing project called "Haunted House For Sale". Students were given the option to do something other than a haunted house if they felt the haunted house was not the right writing topic for them. We looked at houses for sale around the neighborhood and read their descriptions as a class to see what listings would usually have. We then brainstormed a list of adjectives to describe the haunted house. We will continue to work on this throughout the week.
In math, we worked on rounding 2 and 3 digit numbers to the nearest ten. Students are getting the hang of it but will definitely require more practice throughout the week.
In social studies, we continued working on mapping skills.
We have seen a drastic change in the weather in the last few days. Thank you for ensuring that your child comes to school dressed for the weather with appropriate jackets, snowpants if necessary, gloves and toques, labelled with your child's name. We go outside until the temperature goes down to -20.
