Term 3 will be a busy term. For the month of April our class will be busy writing stories to go in our very own books, which will be published by Student Treasures Publishing. We have two field trips planned and we will use the researching and writing and presenting skills we have been working on in the last 2 terms to begin and complete our passion projects. More information on all this topics will be provided soon.
This week we were very focused on planning our stories in Language Arts. We discussing the purpose of our stories and what themes they many have. Before Spring Break we planned in detail who our main character(s) and villains were. This week we reviewed this and focused on developing a detailed setting and planning out the plot of our stories. We also continued to practice our reading comprehension and have begun our spelling tests once more.
In Math this week focused on data collection this week. We asked questions, recorded the answers using tally charts and then represented the information using bar charts. We will continue to work on data collection next week. We will be focusing on representing information using pictograph. We will also focus on interpreting bar charts and pictographs. It is very important that students continue to practice their basic math skills all year round. we will be working on basic math skills through out the term. Please practice these skills at home as well. xtramath is a great way to have your child practice their basic math skills.
In Religion this week we have focused on the Jesus' passion through the Stations of the Cross. We will continue to do this next week and also focus on Paslm Sunday and the Triduum.
Student Treasures and Publishing Books:
As mentioned above, we are writing stories that will be published. It is wonderful that the students have the opportunity to go through the steps that writers go through before they finish a piece novel. They will also be their own illustrators. The children are very excited about this and are putting in a lot of hard work. You will be receiving the following notice and an order form next week:
