Learning Updates
Literacy: This week has been focused on using fun adjectives and adverbs in our writing during a picture prompt practice. We are trying not to write skeleton sentences, which are simple, short and maybe a little boring. We also practiced our high frequency words in a fun way called "Scribble Spelling". Lastly, we listened to many Wintery stories!
Math: Grade 3 students are continuing to practice addition and subtraction to 1000 with and without regrouping. We are also reviewing money in a fun way. Students are playing grocery games, and we are also earning money in our red envelopes to be able to buy gifts from Ms. Qi next week!
Science: Students explored contact forces using a playdoh. We also learned about the four different types of contact forces, including applied force, tension, elastic/spring and friction.
Field Study: We made snow in three different ways! Then we compared it to real snow and described how they're similar or different.
: All the Grade 3 students chose different card making stations and made our seniors at Newport Harbour a holiday card to brighten their day!

And three was that the two people spinning the rope and the person in the middle can run in and if he gets tired and thinks he's about to fail in the next spin, he runs out and the next person goes.
