We are off to a great start of school!

September so far!

  One thing we started in September was swimming!  We have learned a lot of ways to swim (like diving, lengths, the rope, front crawl, front glide, back float, back glide, front float, side glide, and flutter kick). The instructors are really nice because they teach us different skills, how to be safe, new things and things so you can be a better swimmer. We like the game "Safe or Sorry" because you get to learn safe things in the pool and things that are not safe (which we wouldn't do!). The instructors let us go off the diving board and the rope and play with rings and other equipment at the end of our lessons. Some of us even got to put life jackets on to go in the deep end. We practiced what to do if someone fell off a boat too. Swimming is one of the most fun things in grade three so far!

   In 3B, we've also done a lot of fun math activities. Some of them include Math Writing (where we show ways to make a 3-digit number), Math with Someone (games to practice making 10 and other facts with a partner), and Math by Myself (independent math to get better at math). We are getting speedier at our addition facts. It's only 3 weeks at school and our math stamina is getting really high. Our first day of Math Writing, we got up to 10 minutes of stamina already!  We are almost ready for more math choices. 

   We've also used the Chromebooks for a few things already. Some things we did was do our reading SLA when we had to read and solve problem, tried Tumblebooks and looked at our classroom blog. We will be using more and more soon for all subjects!  We are excited!  

    Thanks for reading about 3B!
