Good Morning Everyone!

Here are your morning announcements from Ms. Hall!  Watch for some people popping in!

#1. Reading: 

  1. RazKids: read 1-2 stories and complete the questions
  2. MySciLearn: finish your second story of the week
  3. Epic Books: read for enjoyment after you have completed the rest of your work

#2. Writing: You will work on your paragraph about The Little Red Bird. You will need to decide if you think the bird should go home to his cage or stay free. Once you have made your decision, you will need to go back to your chart from Tuesday. The reasons you have given will be the body (otherwise known as the middle of your paragraph). You will need to start with a topic sentence, then give your reasons in the body, and finish with a concluding sentence. Your topic sentence needs to share your opinion. Once you share your reasons in the body, you will need a concluding sentence. Remember, a concluding sentence should say your topic in a different way and with more details. Take a look at my example below. You will see my topic sentence first, then the body of my paragraph, and the last sentence is my conclusion. Use the writing sheet and if you need more room, use the next writing sheet. Please upload your paragraph into Assignment on Teams when you are done.

#3. Math: For the next few weeks, the grade 3’s will be moving into multiplication. Grade 2’s don’t need to know multiplication yet, but of course you’re welcome to try! Grade 2’s will continue to review addition and subtraction with regrouping (borrowing).

  • Grade 2’s: You will continue to add 2 digit numbers together. If you wish to do the multiplication sheets, you don’t have to do these sheets!  Worksheet 1 & 2 
  • Grade 3’s: Today you will be learning about multiplication. Multiplication is the same as adding groups together with the same number. For example, there are 18 kids in the class. If I put kids together in groups of 2, I know that 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 18. This is called repeated addition. Instead of writing all that adding, I could count how many groups of 2 there are. There are 9 groups of 2, so 2 x 9 = 18. Watch these short videos:  video 1    video 2  Now that you understand how adding and multiplying are similar, complete worksheets 1 & 2

#4. Physical Health: Please choose an activity or two to complete 30 minutes of exercise today.

  • in between the raindrops, get outside into the fresh air for a walk or bike ride

#5.  Art: (for fun! optional!)  Today  in honour of kindness to all, I have chosen a directed drawing of heart hands,  If you would like to share a drawing with the class, please ask a parent to email me (Mrs. Leroux) your picture and I will put it into the Gallery.  Have a look in the Gallery to see all the drawings that are already there!

Have a great day!
