JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Students at Saddle Ridge School are taking part in Jump Rope for Heart in the next couple of weeks! Ask us about the assembly we had on Tuesday! Students will participate in skipping activities in the gym, while also learning about keeping their heart healthy. Students have been given an envelope if they would like to collect donations, as well as online donations are accepted (http://www.jumpropeforheart.ca - JOIN YOUR SCHOOL- type in SADDLE RIDGE SCHOOL). Students who collect donations can earn prizes, as well as helping the physical education department at the school. All forms and money are due back on March 13.

In LITERACY we continued to explore the elements of story through drama! Each reading group was given a reader's theatre to practice and rehearse! We each got to be a character in the story and created props and masks to enhance our presentations! We have been practicing on reading with expression and did an amazing job performing our plays in front of the whole class :)

Our sight words next week are:

looked
coming 
smallest
making
put

In MATH we continued to develop our subtraction strategies and ability to check our own work by using the opposite operation. We continued to use task cards to work in our group to solve subtraction equations, and check our answers using the corresponding addition equation. We continued to practice subtraction with regrouping by exploring the following equations:

. 

First we built the top number using base ten blocks, then we tried to take the bottom number away, and remembered that we couldn't without "regrouping" from the tens place! 
We also learned a fun new math game called "Race to Zero!" We started at 100 and then used a dice to roll the next number in the equation! We got to teach it to our grade three buddies!  

In SCIENCE we continued to annotate our research from our inquiry as Water Conservationists. We started making google slides!! 

                 


Thanks for an awesome week :)
