February 16, 2009

This week the students will be writing letters to students from a class in Toronto. My sister is teaching Grade 3 French Immersion in Toronto and agreed to do a pen pal type exchange with our class. The students are very excited about this opportunity. This is a great way for students to learn about students from another part of the country while learning the conventions of writing a letter.

The students have really easily grasped multiplication in Math. They will begin to learn division in the next week or two. The class has started a class project. We will be writing and illustrating "Dinomir" books. These books will look quite professional. The students are excited about this. This project will be ongoing until June. There are many steps to the process. We are currently reading the "Dinomir" books while exploring the type of language and sentence structures that are being used (eg. Nouns, verbs, adjectives + Characters, settings, problems, solutions). Next week it is mardi gras!!! A orange newsletter was sent home with the details. I hope everyone's week is going well.
