Today we learned about the Platypus!  Do you think he would be a good pet?  Why not ($)?  In Language Arts we worked on identifying the main idea in a story.  In math we looked at the different ways to model a number.  There are 5 ways we have looked at so far.  Do you remember them (Standard form, Word Form, Expanded Form, Place Value Chart, Base Ten Blocks).  In PE it was international walk to school day!  In Social Studies we had a quiz.  In computer we learned how to get onto our email address!  You can check out your email at exchange.nbss.nbed.nb.ca (Dont forge your domain NBSS).  Have a great day and I may see you at cross country tonight!

We started off the day talking about old one room school houses.  We talked about how to show a drink was hot, instead of just saying it.  In LA  we continued to work on our daily 5 routines.  We read about the dangers of drinking salt water, especially if yourre a dog!   In Math we reviewed our Adding steps (Do you remember what we call the steps for doing something?), and worked from our text book.  Our cross country runners practiced for the hilly Hallow by running on the hill by the church!  In Science we talked about living things that affect the soil.  In Social Studies we practiced using our maps.  Another busy day in Grade 3.

A wonderful Wednesday!  It turns out it might not be a great idea to tie your dog to your table when youre eating.  Do you remember why?  This week is Smile Cookie Day at Tim Hortons so we had a special treat at recess!   For Math Today we reviewed our rules for our Adding Algorithm and worked out of the book on Standard Numbers and using drawings to represent numbers.  In Language Arts we worked on some special letters.   In PE we had tally Wednesday.  In Computer we worked on some awesome shortcuts that are going to come in handy with the Ctrl Button.  Do you remember any of them?  Good luck to the runners in cross country tonight at Croft!TOMORROW IS PICTURE DAY!  BRING YOUR SMILES ON YOUR FACE, NOT IN YOUR POCKET!!! 

Today I learned how a porcupine sounds, and how to doodle one quickly.  We worked on reading mazes and reviewed our Math Vocabulary.  We also looked at our adding algorithm in math.  In Language Arts we worked on our Read to Self and did some group writing with our pattern for "Problem, try, try, solve".  Do you remember why Mr. McCallum said its a good idea to pick a little problem?  In Gym today we learned how to play "Dead Ant Tag".  In Health we talked about the dangers of smoking.  In science read about how all plants need soil.  We finished off the day looking at Maps, and learning about Canada and New Brunswick.  We also had to have a little talk about building our stamina for sitting in our chairs at our desks.  Some of us are still having trouble with the extended day.  (I think extend is a math word too, do you remember what it means?)  I hope tomorrow afternoon is nice!  We are hoping to have a special guest!  Keep your fingers crossed and see you tomorrow.

Today we talked a little bit about lizards as pets.  In our book we might be in for some bad news, it looks like one of the characters might need to find a new family to live with!  In Language Arts we are learning how to make a proper paragarph.  There are a lot of things to remember, can you remember any of them?  In math we continued to work out of the text book on patterns and use pattern rules!  We had Pizza for hot lunch today.  In PE we went outside to play soccer.  In Health we talked about communicible and non communicable diseases and the pipes that run blood to our hearts.  In computer class we talked about how some people on the internet may not be who they say they are sometimes.  We went over some of the parts of our browers and then played some online math games. 

Today we read about Marley's "Great Escape" attempts.  The first attempt was do to the weather, and the second because of him trying to get some fresh air.  Do you remember what happened?  In Math we worked with our senteo's and writing questions out of the text book.  In Science we talked about compost, and Mr. McCallum may be asking to share some of your lunch tomorrow.   Im sorry for the late post, but we left immediately after school to go to NSEE for the cross country meet!  Im still excited because our grade 3's did so well!   I hope we get some pictures up soon!  See you in the morning :)
