The honey is going fast! If you are planning on buying honey, tomorrow will most likely by the last opportunity.
We had our first Christmas caroling session in the gym. Students are welcome to wear their Santa hats for carolings sessions that will happen throughout the week!
Ask your child about our read aloud, The One and Only Ivan. Who are the characters? Where do they live? Which animal just joined the group? Why did the owner bring her? What is their favorite part of the book so far?
In math, we began working on some multiplication and division word problems. We also attempted to answer a Christmas tree math puzzle. Have your child try to explain this puzzle to you.

Scholastic book orders will go out on Monday!
Honey will go on sale next week.
Mayor's food drive is still up and running.
In math, we looked at how multiplication relates to division. We made fact families!
20÷5=4
20÷4=5
4x5=20
5x4=20
Have your child create a fact family for 6x2.
We continued to work on our persuasive writing. We looked at how we could begin our writing, using a question, statement or problem.
In music, we practiced our songs with Room 15. Ask your child which instrument they are playing and who they are sitting beside. Remind your child to practice their songs.

Scholastic book flyers went home today. I will put in an order next Monday.
We are still collecting food for the Mayor's Food Drive.
We continued organizing our ideas for our persuasive writing piece. We are working on adding details to each reason we are using in our efforts to persuade.
In math, we had Math Game Wednesday. We worked on many skills, including counting money, addition and subtraction, place value, and division and multiplication.
In social, we continued on with our Peru landscape maps. Some of us worked extra hard and we were able to finish our maps.

A big thank you to parent council for supplying the delicious treats for the teachers. What a thoughtful gesture!!!
Some pictures of us working hard on our geographic maps of Peru. We had to outline the 3 diverse areas of the landscape, including the Coastal Plains, Andes Mountains, and the Amazon Rainforest.
In math, we learned how to use skip counting as a strategy to determine the answer to a division statement. Have your child show you how this strategy works with the following statements.
8÷2=
9÷3=
25÷5=
22÷2=

Below are the learning outcomes for Division for Grade 3.
Demonstrate an understanding of division (limited to division related to multiplication facts up to 5 × 5) by:
• representing and explaining division using equal sharing and equal grouping
• creating and solving problems in context that involve equal sharing and equal grouping
• modelling equal sharing and equal grouping using concrete and visual representations, and recording the process symbolically
• relating division to repeated subtraction
• relating division to multiplication.
So far we have learned to show division using equal grouping and repeated division.
Have your child show you through repeated subtraction how to answer the following statements.
12÷4=
15÷3=
6÷2=
15÷3=
Tomorrow we will talk more skip counting and division.
