On Thursday of next week (April 16th), we will be having our Scientist in the School programming. We are still in need of parent volunteers. If there are any parents who would like to volunteer that day please let me know. It would involve helping with the activities.
I have marked the NFL Play 60 assignments. Please go onto Google Classroom and click on your document to see your mark. I have left the mark in the form of a comment near the bottom of the document. Please make sure you show your parents, for this is not something that I can place in your Friday Folders.
Grade 3
Literacy - Horse question below (due Monday)
Did Shasta make the right decision leaving when Prince Corinth came back? Please use details from the text and your own ideas to support your answer.
Literacy - Please respond to the question below. I have placed notes from our discussion below to help you form your answers. (Due Monday)
Does a story need a big problem/climax in order to be interesting?
-Yes, because if the climax was not interesting, then the rest of the story is boring (MG).
-Yes, because the climax leads down to the problem which makes the rest of the story more interesting (RM).
-If the climax is not interesting then the rest of the story does not make sense (DS)
-Yes, because the climax is the main part of the story, and the main part holds the rest of the text together (JH).
-Yes, because the rest of the text is based on the climax. If you don’t have a climax then the story has no meaning (ML)
-Not necessarily, because if you have a climax that is good, but a solution that is not good then the story is not as interesting. You need a good climax and a good solution to make the text more interesting (EB).
-If the climax is interesting, then the text should be interesting because the climax is what makes the story interesting (ED).
-Yes, because if the climax is not interesting then the solution cannot be interesting (NW).
-The story Mr. Carr made up about his Dad making the Blue Jays didn’t have a climax, but it was still interesting and exciting (JH & MG).
-I think there are problems in every story, but they might be small problems. Therefore, the problem does not have to be big to make the story interesting (NW).
-Only big problems make a climax, not small problems (DS).
-Lots of little problems can lead to a climax (MG). *Spelling quiz Monday
*Times tables quiz Monday. Please practice answering questions more quickly as I will not be giving as much time to complete the quizzes. It is important that you memorize your times tables so that you know the answers quickly :)
* I am still waiting on some Friday Folders to be returned.
