Homework
The homework assigned is an extension
of class instruction and meant for extra practice. Completed activities can be
kept at home. However, if there is an activity you would like to share with me,
please do so.
Reading- read aloud (even to yourself!) for 20 minutes each
night. Complete the reading log each night. Remember to have it signed. Talk to
your parents about what you are reading at school this week and what your
current reading level is.
Word Work- Students are now working on new lists of words from the
Words Their Way program; copies can be found in their Communication Bag.
Numeracy- Practice math facts each night and have someone quiz you
if possible. Practice estimating and measuring items around your home, using cm
and a ruler. Practice telling time at home, to the nearest minute.
Areas of Focus for February 26- March 2, 2018
Writing- This week, students will continue to work their
independent writing piece. This piece will be assessed using the 6+1 Traits of
writing that we have been studying this year. Students will work with the
teacher in small groups to generate a list of memoire ideas, and to generate a
graphic organizer to assist in their writing. Please talk with your child about
their writing piece this week.
Word Work- Copies of this week’s new Words Their Way list can
be found in the Communication Bag. Each day, students complete a different
activity to enhance their understanding of words and letter patterns.
Numeracy- This week all students continue to explore the
relationship between multiplication and division. Grade 3 students will continue
to focus on multiplication/division facts up to 5x5. Grade 4 will do the same
with facts up to 9x9. Please practice creating fact family groupings at home.
Use counters, beans, pennies, etc., to show the relationship between facts. For
example: 5 groups of 5 equals 25 and 25 divided into 5
groups equals 5 in each group.
Social Studies- This week we explore two new themes in social studies. Grade 3 students will be focusing on how we can learn
about the different cultures in our province. Grade 4 students are exploring
the physical features, climate and vegetation of Earth.
