Students began their dance residency this week and will continue throughout the next 2 weeks. Each lesson ends with everyone shouting "I am awesome!" You can feel the positive energy throughout their dancing as kids let go of inhibitions and move to the music.
We have been working on organizing our ideas into persuasive paragraphs in writing. Students use a 'hamburger' template, as well as persuasive language such as, "I am sure you will have to agree..." Using Google Docs talk-to-text, they are completing their final draft.
In mathematics, students are continuing to build on their multiplication skills using arrays, grids and skip counting. They have begun work with shapes and are honing their skills with a variety of polygon games.
Using a variety of earthquake simulators and a seismograph model, students have been conducting experiments, researching and investigating through the lens of an Environmental Geologist. They look forward to sharing this work with parents next week during conferences.
The grade 3 choir is getting underway in preparation for the winter festivities. Please see Mrs. Mann's blog for further details.
