It was a typical Thursday in Grade 3/4 today!

1. Opening Exercises - today began with the children's favourite, a Mad Minute (that was dripping with sarcasm).  Many of them noticed how much their fact skills weakened over the break with this one!  Time to get back at the Xtra Math. :)
2. R.W. - we started our new read aloud, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl.  Then we went on to read Chapter 2 of These Are My People
3. Handwriting - we're wrapping up our handwriting exercise book.  The students were wondering what we were going to do to practice after we're done.  The Grade 4's are already handwriting most of what they do in class, and the 3's will start to do so more.  In other words, it won't be a formal handwriting class, but rather plenty of in class practice.
4. Math - the Grade 3's worked on perimeters of shapes while the 4's focused on estimating the area of irregular polygons
5. W.W. - most of the class is now typing up their published copies of their 'Typical Day'
6. P.E. - with Mr. Banman
7. R.W. - with Mr. Ediger
8. Chapel - Mrs. Campbell led today
