We are beginning a new unit in ELA that is structured around an author/genre study which uses a lot of figurative language. The majority of stories will be Amelia Bedelia stories, with some other materials incorporated for us to compare writing techniques used to create humour.
In math we are working on place value and whole number concepts. Grade three should be comfortable with numbers to 1000, and grade four with numbers to 10 000 when we finish the unit. You will notice a major change in the math report card when it comes home mid-November. I will try to post some information here to help you interpret it, and will also take time to share and explain this new format with you when you come for interviews.
My crazy month is over and I am thrilled to be back in the classroom for at least a week straight!
We will not carve pumpkins on Monday but will be doing a variety of math activities with them involving measurement. If you are interested in joining us for the afternoon on Monday, we welcome you any time after 1:00.
