Fadil and Ayman played Among Us for 324 hours in December. In January they played 513 hours of the games because they loved it so much. How many hours of video games did they play combined? Use pictures, numbers and words to show your thinking. Show 2 or more ways to solve the problem.

Woops! they forgot to save their game on some of the days, and learned that 115 hours didn’t count towards the total. What is the new number of total hours played? Show your thinking with pictures, numbers and words.

Week of Dec. 7th

There is no homework for this week.

Here is what we worked on this week.

LA- Students were finalizing their snowman stories by adding their revisions, creating a title page and publishing their work on the computer.

Math- Continuing to work on their addition and subtraction skills the students created a board game and used problem solving questions as one component of their game. In a small group they had to invent the theme for their game and incorporate adding and subtraction questions as a skill component to advance in the game.

Science- Students investigated the specific details of frogs and isopods in terms of their life cycle and habitat.

Social- Our focus this week was looking at the mountain people of Peru and how their environment effects their quality of life.

This week our focus was on:

LA- We continued finishing our snowcreature stories as well as wrote winter poems that included great description and some rhyming.

Math- We have been working on incorporating our skills in adding and subtraction and applying them to solve word problems. Looking for key words to help us decide on a strategy to solve the problem has been a goal.

Social- Our study of Peru continues as we examine the lifestyle of the Peruvian people in various locations in the country.

Science- Our focus this week was learning how the adaptations of animals allow them to survive in their environment.

Math- We continued our work on adding 3 digit numbers with regrouping and have now moved on to subtracting 2 digit numbers with regrouping in the tens place.

Social- We spent time investigating the climate in Peru and its effects on the lives of the people. We compared it to our climate to see the similarities and differences.

Science- We spent some time this week investigating individual interests. We then worked as a group to develop and answer questions pertaining to their topic of interest. From this the group created a fact card to display in our hallway to share their findings.

Here is the homework for this week.

Week of Nov 9th.

Highlight of the week.

The Grade Three classes participated in the Remembrance Day Assembly for our school. It was a wonderful acknowledgement of the values of respect and peace that they shared with the school.

This week we focussed on...

LA- We continued investigating great story beginnings. We have shifted our focus to starting with a great question or thought and secondly a descriptive beginning that describes a scene. These different beginnings will allow students to explore several ways to begin a story as we progress towards a completed story.

Math- Addition with 2 digit and 3 digit numbers was a focus this week. We have moved into regrouping in the tens place and will progress to regrouping into the hundreds place next week.

Social Studies- We are exploring how the citizens of Peru live in the different geographical regions in Peru.

Science- We are continuing to complete our research posters as well as looking at some specific examples of the life cycles of some animals. This week we discussed the frog.

Hello Le Roi Daniels!

Although it may be dreary, grey and gloomy outside, at Le Roi Daniels we are always cheerful and full of brightness.

On Monday November 16, we are going to bring colour and joy to our school by having a casual day where students can wear ANY colour of the rainbow.

This is one way to show our joy and remember we have a “ RAINBOW OF POSSIBILITIES” in our school.

Be as creative as you would like!
