We introduced an online Math program today called Prodigy. It seems pretty cool so far! Students have their own login and password to access quests assigned by the teacher. Their individualized wizards defend by casting spells they get by correctly answering math questions. Students are able to access this program from home at www.prodigygame.com. They should use the username and password provided to them in class.
We had a busy week in Grade 3! Some highlights include:
- we finished up our unit on Data Management and started our new unit - Patterning - we wrote "My Bad Day" - gifted screening test took place on Tuesday - we started a vermi-compost in Science - picture retakes were on Wednesday - we created a pattern with our name and then used the ipads to record our explanation of the patterns - we played "Roll and Retell". See pictures below: I love seeing kids read together! Today, when they finished their book, they took turns rolling the number cube and following the prompt for Roll and Retell (answering orally). This served as a good step towards students being able to write their own recount independently. |
