Learning Multiplication

The students of grade 3 have been involved in many different activities to learn the multiplication tables. We have used flash cards, played math games, participated in the 50 Club math drill, and completed our unit related activities in our math books. Learning the multiplication tables is very important and takes time. It is necessary that parents help their children practice the times tables by quizzing them at home on a regular basis until they can recite them quite quickly. Together we can all help improve these skills!

 Body Systems Projects

As a final activity for our health and well-being unit of inquiry, the students worked in pairs or trios to complete a project on one of the body systems of their choice. They were expected to complete an explanatory text describing what the body system is and explaining how it works. They also had to draw and label a diagram of the body system. Once the projects were completed and the students had a chance to practice, they presented their explanations and diagrams to the class. The presentations went well and the students were able to demonstrate their understanding of the workings of the body systems. Congratulations to all on a job well done!

Building a Body!!!

Thanks to one of the students, we had a large model of the body that we could build together. There were many parts that had to be connected to complete the skeleton with the internal organs. Unfortunately the muscles would not stay attached, so we only completed the skeleton and the internal organs. It was a little challenging, but nevertheless a fun way to review the main parts of the body systems.

So many parts!!!                              The construction begins...

 Attaching the hipbones...

Adding the internal organs.

An arm gets attached.            Here he is mostly finished!
