The grade 3's stretched their brais mathematically!
After yesterday's preassessment it was clear fractions would be a very new concept! Today in math we created a mini infographic explaining what a fraction is. We talked about the denominator and numerator. The denominator is the total number of pieces, while the numerator is the part. We used a variety of sources (books, visual and powerpoint) to help us discover what exactly a fraction is. It took a few tries to create and recognize fractions. Tomorrow, we will continue to build our understanding of fractions.
Scavenger hunt time!
In Social Studies, students worked in partners to explore the different text features found in non-fiction texts about our 4 countries. They have a good understanding of how to locate information using the index and table of contents. Our next step will be to use the features to gather notes.
Students received their field trip forms for our upcoming field trip to the Music Centre on January 18. Please ensure to fill out all the pages and return by January 9.
Have a wonderful evening!
