I hope everyone has had a restful, healthy break. Hopefully the children have had plenty of fresh outside air! On Friday, before our winter break, our class participated in our annual Read-A-Thon. It was a peaceful, productive day. Everyone made themselves cozy with snacks, a stack of books, and some had pillows and blankets! I will post pictures as soon as I am back to school. The Read-A-Thon is something grades 3 and 4 do to raise money for our end of the years field trips. While we haven't locked anything down just yet, I will keep you posted about the trips as soon as we are able to reserve them. Please send in your child's pledge money when you are able.
When we return to school on March 6th, we will be starting a new unit in Literacy. We will begin to study Traditional Fiction and learn how to adapt a Fairy Tale and make it our own. While our World Geography unit was focused on facts, this unit will be more about learning the genre and being creative! The writing aspect of our Traditional Fiction will be more focused on penmanship and grammar, so this writing will not be done using technology.
In third grade math we will still be practicing multiplication! We are learning to do multi digit multiplication with partial product, using our rods. We will be beginning a graphing unit and then diving into fractions. This is always the best time of year in math!
I look forward to returning to school and seeing my much missed students!
