Math: Students have been conducting and are working on displaying data from their own class surveys. Grade 4s will be making double bar graphs. Grade 3 will be displaying their data in different formats like bar graph or pictograph.
Language: We are continuing with narrative writing. Students have been working on incorporating dialogue using quotation marks in their writing.

There are no new updates for this week. For homework this week, please have your child read each night and practice multiplication facts.

Students began working on games to teach multiplication facts to 12. This is an open-ended activity that will take place over several weeks and will include oral language, procedural writing and media literacy.
Math: We will be starting our data management unit this week. Students will learn how to create and read a variety of data. It is very important when displaying data in a variety of graphs that titles and labels are included to give information about the data. Students will also learn how to read data and answer questions about the information, for example, How many more.....?, How many fewer.....?, How many people were surveyed altogether?
Language: We are retelling a narrative writing story using a graphic organizer to ensure all components are included. This will provide practice for students before creating and writing their own story.
Homework: Cursive writing practice sheets will be coming home this week. Also, please watch this video about bar graphs and do the practice session.

Math: We will finish our look at patterning and skip counting, with an assessment this week before moving on to data management. View this attached video to demonstrate how we are using number lines in class to skip count or discover number patterns. Grade 4s are also practicing how to show this information using t-charts. Number lines and t-charts can begin and end at any number that makes sense with the problem.
Language: We used graphic organizer to deconstruct a story about a child with stage fright. We have been writing our own ending to this story. We will begin to create our own narrative stories using the same graphic organizer this week.
Homework:    grade 3 homework       grade 4 homework

Math: We continue to look at number patterns and how they can be made from patterns involving shapes. For example, creating letter representations for patterns with repeating shapes.
Language: We are looking at narrative writing and the characteristics of this writing style, such as main character, plot, setting, problem and solutions.
