Welcome to our grade 3 Daily Class Report.  Today started off with learning to draw a horse.  We also learned about a horse rescue.  Do you remember what that is?  We FINISHED the Marley book!  Mr. McCallum's voice kept getting very high and he had to take lots of breaks reading the last few chapters, but it we finally got through it.  Do you remember the "Lucky" ending?  In math we worked out of the text on standard numbers and modeling numbers.   There was choir at recess.  I hope youre practicing at home choir members.  We had Language arts with Miss Gallant and got to get outside for lunch where the grade 2-3 got to play soccer.  We had tally Tuesday today in PE.  Today's picture is Mitchell and Thomas taking their turn tallying laps for their partners.  Mr. Murphy came in for guidance.  Do you remember what he was telling us about?  We had science at the end of the day.  We made paper airplanes and did an experiment to see where they would glide better, the moon or the earth.  We didn't finish the experiment we be had a great talk about "gravity" and "atmosphere".  Tomorrow is Boston Pizza for hot lunch.  Have a great night and see you tomorrow.

Welcome to our grade 3 Daily Class Report.  Today we learned how to draw a cupcake, and something BIG happened in our Marley book today.  Do you remember what it was?  In math we worked on standard numbers and modeling them with base ten blocks.  In LA we read Secrets of Nihm, and we learned about the T-Rex.Walk-a-thon today in gym, and everyone must have drank too much water because we had a "Potty Parade" at the end of the day.  In Social Studies we did maps of New Brunswick and we had to find all the cities and the province. Tricia went hunting with her dad and her sisters, but the only thing she got was this cool hat.  Thomas was really tired today because he had a sleep over on the weekend.  Everyone get to bed early and be well rested for tomorrow.

Welcome to our grade 3 Daily Class Report.  Today we started off the day learning about how a fox can catch food in the winter time.  There is one thing that makes a huge difference for the fox!  Do you remember what it is?  In Language Arts today we read secrets of Nimh, did our spelling test, and did our read to self.  At recess Georgia made a block of butter that doesnt include butter.  Did you get to see it? In math we worked on modelling numbers using Base 10 blocks and Place Value Charts.  We also got to try playing Chess on the computer.  I placed the link below.  At lunch our cross country runners had a fun meeting!  Hard work pays off in more ways than one.  In PE today it was choice day.  We had a short music class and ran to the library.  In computer we worked on inserting tables in Microsoft Word.  We did our end of day routine and played a quick game!  I should also mention that Ryan really loves the soccer pictures, especially when he kicked the ball!  I hope to get up some pictures this weekend.  Check out Ryans favorite pic!

There was still lots of excitement in the air this morning from the soccer last night!  I'm so glad everyone had fun.  This morning we learned about how insects make homes, and how we learn from them.  In our book, Marley is up against some big odds.  Do you remember what that means?  In math we did some board work with arrays and reviewed some vocabulary.  We had PE and social studies, but the highlight of the day was most definately a visit from Science East!  We got in groups and were given time to build something with straws!  There were some rules, but I cant remember what they were, do you?  I hope tomorrow is just as much fun!

A very busy day after the break!  We started off doodling a turkey and learning some facts about turkeys.  Do you remember any of them?  In our book Marley had some trouble with the snow.  In Math we did some boardwork and started on a title page for our folders.  It was tally Tuesday in gym class.  Mr. Murphy came in and worked on our shields.  In social studies we worked on maps and the Atlantic provinces.  In Science we talked about how climate affects soil and used a computer program to write to the smartboard!  Some of our Grade 2's and 3's have a soccer game tonight at Gretna Green!  Good luck boys and girls!

We talked a little bit about guitars today and we read about a dog thats gettting old.  Do you remember what part of the house Marley is having the most trouble with every night?  In Math we did a bit of work with arrays, and looked at the different ways of representing numbers with base ten blocks.  Do you like adding numbers and regrouping using standard numbers or base ten blocks better?  In Language Arts we are continuing to use questions to improve the details of our stories.  We did Tally Tuesday in gym and we had Mr. Murphy talk to us in guidance today.   We worked on labelling maps in Social Studies and in Science we went to the computer lab and experimented with the smartboard.   Tomorrow is the last day this week before the break!  Get lots of rest and I will see you in the morning.

Marley is getting older and he is losing his hearing.  Do you remember how they figured this out?  This week is Fire Prevention Week!  We had an Assembly this morning in place of Language Arts.  The Fire Deptartment came and showed us what they looked like completely dressed up, and ready to fight a fire!  Im glad I got to see them like that or I might think they were really scary!  In Math we talked about the 5 different ways to model numbers and played with the base ten blocks.  Yes played!  In PE we played some games, we touched on fire safety!  Do you remember what the two most important things you should do tonight?  In Science we talked about erosion, and in Social Studies we worked with our maps.

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!
