Classroom Update

We Scare Hunger

The character education committee is collecting non-perishable food items for the Deep River Food Bank.  Please send in any items you may have.

Bus Safety

Yesterday we had a brief lesson on bus safety put on by the bus company.  Students were reminded of safe bus behaviour as well as how to get off the bus in an emergency.

Curriculum

Language:
In language, students are working on constructing complete paragraphs. They have been completing a variety of writing activities (i.e. favourite season, haunted house description, creative fairy tale) to work on this skill.  We came up with the goal and success criteria below for students to follow.  We are continuing to participate in the Global Read Aloud. The students are enjoying Fenway and Hattie.

Math
After completing our patterning unit, we have been working on place value using Base 10 materials.  We also continue to work on mental math strategies for adding, subtracting and multiplying on a daily basis.

Science:
Grade threes are learning about structures and grade twos are learning about the properties of matter (solids, liquids, gases, the water cycle)

Social Studies:
We are investigating communities in Ontario (grade 3) and around the world (grade 2).
