Learning Intentions:
- I can add doubles up to 12 and
find their sum.
- I can use strategies like
doubles to help me add quickly.
- I can practice my addition by
using songs and games.
- I can add numbers quickly and
recognize patterns.
In Math this
week, the students were building their number sense, focusing on doubles. Students
practiced this skill through songs, stories, independent work, and games such as
the “Bus Board Game” and “Snakes and Ladders”. Students worked on seeing
patterns in numbers with doubles (they are always even numbers) and doubles
plus one.
Learning
Intentions:
- I can tell you why we recognize
Black History Month.
- I can learn about remarkable
Black Canadians.
- I can talk about how to be kind
and fair to everyone.
- I can learn about how Black
Canadians contribute to our country.
In Literacy
this week, our focus was on Black History Month and Pink Shirt Day. We learned
about remarkable Black Canadians such as activist Viola Desmond, singer K’Naan,
former Calgary Flame Jerome Iginla, and Alberta rancher John Ware. Students
learned from stories, videos and poems about Black history and culture.
On
Wednesday, the Grade 3/4 classes hosted the Pink Shirt Day Assembly. This
celebration of learning featured traditional First Nations drumming and songs
in the Blackfoot language. Our presenters also shared their poetry and
perspectives on the importance of being kind. In the classroom, we made kindness
crowns, bookmarks, and mindfulness colouring pages to recognize Pink Shirt Day.
Next week in
Science we will continue with our Build a Toy project. Please help our
class out by sending materials. Please ask your student, again, what they are
making and what materials they will need to build it. Here is a list of
materials we need.
- felt -twist
ties
- cardboard - pipe
cleaners
- tissue paper
- cotton balls
At Home Learning:
Math – Practice doubles addition with dice or cards. Games like cribbage are
good for practicing quick addition.
Literacy – Practice simple sentences, making sure to use proper capital letters
and punctuation. Also, practice rhyming short sentences (you write one, then
they write one).
Spelling Words for March 6: Assigned (leftt), Puffins (middle), Blue Jays (right)
