Use keyboard skills to compose, revise and print text is an outcome that we are responsible for in grade 3. So we started today with Dance Mat typing which is an online resource for typing skills. It is a website you could add to your list of helpful tools.
Some of us used Mathletics this morning while the rest of us began subtraction of 2 digit numbers using the strategy of drawing a picture. We drew the base ten blocks to show 47 then took away 13. A visual representation is very important so that we can make a picture in our head of what is happening during subtraction.
Mini lesson before writing surrounded personal editing. Students are asked to first re-read their own writing. Then ask themselves "Does this make sense?" While they read again they will underline words they think are spelled incorrectly, look for missing capitals and periods and then change one word to make it more exciting for their reader.
