Season for Giving...

This week, the students at RBES brought in donations for the Devon Christmas Elves. Every donation was counted for a ticket into the Comfy Couch Contest and the winners were announced on Thursday at the end of the school day. The Devon Christmas Elves is always so grateful for the amount of donations they receive from our school. Next week, the Grade 3 students will be delivering and sorting the food at the Christmas Elves depot. Please remember to sign the permission forms online.

LANGUAGE ARTS

The students wrote letters back to their pen pals this week. The wrote about themselves, answered questions and then asked their pen pals questions in return. After editing their sloppy copies, they wrote a good copy to be mailed away. They also worked on an illustration for their new friend to include with their letter. 

Each week, when we have spelling, the students work on a variety of activities to help them practice words with the same spelling rule. 

They are really getting to be experts at editing the weekly morning message with hopes that they can use this knowledge to edit their own work. 

MATH

In Math this week, the students plotted two and three digit numbers on number lines and then ordered them from least to greatest and greatest to least.  They also worked on comparing numbers that were 10 more, 10 less, 100 more and 100 less.

SOCIAL

With a partner, the students continued some research about India using the chromebooks. We also started reading the textbook, following a young boy named Ravi and learning about his life in India. After reading each section, the students have been working on filling in a travel journal by pulling out key information they learned about the culture.

ART

We completed the Rudolph art for the Christmas concert. They were all very proud of how their project turned out.
