MATH

Today both the grade 3’s and 4’s learned about comparing and ordering fractions. They had to use the symbols =, <, and > to show which fractions were less than, greater than, or equal to. They also had to list fractions from least to greatest and greatest to least. Our unit test will be on Monday May 4!

LANGUAGE

Today we took a break from reading the novel. The students completed two work sheets using information from the book. On the first page they had to use information from certain pages to colour a penguin. The second sheet involved using more information from the book or the Internet to fill in questions about penguins.

U.O.I.

Today we talked about mining. We read an article called “Last Man on the Mountain” which is about man trying to protect his home from mining companies. Then we filled in a pro and con chart about mining and things we can do to help restore the land.  We will be having our summative written test on FRIDAY MAY 1!

Have a wonderful night!
