Hello Families,
The Marker Mystery
We continued our learning in connection to the markers being recycled at LBS. This week we learned about line graphs and dot plots. Ask your child to identify a difference between the two and which they find easier to read. We also finally got to count out the markers that were initially collected by LBS. Groups were given large amounts of markers and were asked to create a plan on how they would most efficiently and accurately count their amounts.
Poetry
This week we reviewed what a free verse poem is and reread the poems from last week. Students have started to plan out their own free verse poem using success criteria which was created by the whole class.
Plants
Each student was given a mini pot and had the choice to pick the seed of a bean, pea, marigold and zinnia. We will be caring for and learning about these plants in the next coming weeks. Ask your child what plant they chose to grow.
We have started our unit on area (grade 4) and perimeter (grade 3). We started by reviewing what area and perimeter were and then worked on finding the area and perimeter of our names (grade 3 - perimeter only, grade 4 - area and perimeter).
