This week we have been using the CUB strategy to analyze and understand word problems. Most of the problems have involved sharing items, and we were drawing pictures to show what was going on in the problem. Today, Mrs. P told us that we have actually been dividing! We learned how to use counters and blocks to solve division questions.
We are learning about the oo diagraph in spelling this week. We learned that it makes 2 different sounds (ie. good and cool). We have written sentences, and done word work with our spelling words.
Today we worked on writing a short paragraph based on our opinions. We answered "would you rather" questions, and supported our choice with details about why we would prefer to be one thing over another (ex. Would you rather be a bird or a fish?)
In Science, Grade 3s learned about the features of mammals. Grade 4s did an experiment with the length of shadows, and how they change based on the position of a light source.
In Social studies, we have been learning about natural resources. We have spent the last 3 days working on a chart comparing the resources found in Alberta with those found in Peru, Tunisia, Ukraine and India.
We have read for 45 min in class so far. I am looking forward to seeing how much the students are reading at home when they bring their tracking sheets back on Monday.
