Math Apps

In class, we often use manipulatives to help students solve math problems. Visual aids help students to understand big ideas and concepts in mathematics.

Here is a list of math apps (some are manipulatives). Some of these apps are free, others are paid. I have not previewed many of these apps as I use physical manipulatives in my classroom. However, I still wished to share the list with you.

Our week and looking ahead....

Math and Language We are beginning to learn about graphs, specifically pictographs and bar graphs. Today we learned about scale. Tomorrow, we will work in groups to complete a bar graph and determine an appropriate scale. Students will need to learn about the features of a graph, including a title and labels.  In language, we continue to work on determining importance, using our schema and making inferences. Our current learning goals are to ensure all of our responses answer the questions with relevant information and that our connections relate to the question and information. Today, we reviewed a text that was used as an assessment piece. We reread the text to brainstorm main ideas and then reviewed the text to find the relevant information to answer questions.  Students have access to anchor charts that we co-created as we worked on various texts. We have a bump-it up wall/handout that students can check to see if they have met the success criteria and an anchor char...

Coming up in Writing and Science

Science: This is a friendly reminder to those creating a poster for the research project to bring in a bristol board (purchased at the dollar store) for Tuesday, December 12th. Those students who chose to create a slideshow do not need to bring in a bristol board or pictures. I will be printing off the students typed research, so that all the students have to do is bring in pictures of their animal. Before creating their final project, I will model how to design a research poster, which the students will use as an anchor chart to ensure a successful project and presentation.  Language (Writing): This past week we started a new unit: Persuasive Writing. On Tuesday we read Dear Mrs. LaRoue , a series of letters written from the perspective of a dog (Ike) at obedience school, begging his owner to bring him back home. As a group we highlighted Ike’s main arguments and discussed how he was trying to convince to owner to take him home. To continue, we will be ex...

Lost and Found/ Christmas Field Trip

Lost and Found Lost and Found has been placed in front of the Learning Commons. As a class, we will walk by this area to check for any misplaced belongings. Any items that are not claimed will be packed up and donated by Wednesday December 20th. Christmas Field Trip The grade three students will be going on a field trip on Monday, December 18th. We (all grade three students at St Anne) will be going to see "The Star", a Christian film about the Nativity story. The cost of the field trip is $10 to cover tickets. As it took awhile to book the field trip, we are asking for a quick turnaround for permission forms and money. The form will be sent home on Monday and we are asking for it to be returned the next day in order to finalize the field trip.  information about the film, "The Star" Yours in Catholic Education, Mrs Zulpo
