Update for April 19th

 Hi Parents,

We have been hard at work in grade 3. Our class has enjoyed creating 2 digital locked rooms about multiplication with our learning leaders last week. With all these snowy days you can try one of them out as a family. They are posted in our Google classroom under "locked room". Ask your child what locked room they made. In social studies, we are continuing to learn about culture in Ukraine. We learned about the matrushka dolls (nesting dolls) last week and have been reading and recording facts about the Ukraine on our fact chart. Today we are starting our unit about time. We will be learning how to read an analog clock and a digital clock. We will also be reviewing the calendar and doing some word problems with the calendar year.  In Science, we are learning about sound. Last week we made a 3-d model of the ear and this week we will doing some experiments to see sound waves with tuning forks and experimenting with pitch with a variety of materials. In language arts, we have kicked off our poetry unit and have been learning about the figures of speech. We use the acronym SHAMPO ask your child what this means. We are also looking deeper about the concept of change. We will be having some talks about change and doing some reflective work about how we have changed. Lastly, we have Sound Kreations coming in this week. They are a local dance troop that will be teaching us virtually in the gym. We have it at the end of the day every day this week so please ensure your child is dressed to groove!
