Math: Grade 3s will estimate, count, add and subtract money to ten dollars. Grade 4s will be adding and subtracting money amounts to one hundred dollars.
Language: We will use the APE strategy to answer questions in paragraph form. The A stands for answer the question. Students must be sure to answer what is asked, using words from the question in their answer. The P stands for proof. Students must include information from the text they have read in their answer to prove their answer is correct. The E in APE stands for extending their answer. This is an opportunity for students to use their own personal experience or opinion to further back up their answer. We will continue to work on answering in paragraph form, using indents to begin each paragraph.
Homework: Please write about your favourite day. It can be a day that happened or a day you dream about. Grade 3s must write at least 3 paragraphs, grade 4s at least 4 paragraphs. Remember your first paragraph introduces the characters, setting and the event taking place. The middle paragraph or two, give information about the main event. The last paragraph wraps it all up, answering any outstanding questions. This type of writing must be in chronological order (the order that things did or would happen). Please use indents to separate paragraphs rather than skipping lines. Please don't erase when editing for your good copy but put one line through changes that need to be made.
