September

September is coming to a close and we have been very busy.  In Language, the class has been working on The Daily Five and developing stamina in both reading and writing.  As part of their Read to Someone portion, students have been going in small groups to read to the kindergarten students.  In Math, we are wrapping up a unit on patterning.  Students have been developing skills (counting up, using a hundreds chart etc.) to find the gap between numbers.  This helps them identify patterns and further develop their addition and subtraction skills.  In Science, the grade three students have been learning about strong and stable structures and experimenting with how to pose with stability and balance in gym.  The grade four students have been learning about pulleys and gears.

The class is beginning to work more collaboratively and students have become more confident in sharing their thoughts and ideas.
