GRADE 3 EAL IN CLASS SUPPORT

In Miss Erika's classroom this week we practiced three digit numbers addition and subtraction.
The children moved through various stations with maths activities. It was exciting to observe the choice of strategies that our students made as well as their well-developed collaborative skills.

All the children enjoyed their maths lesson.

Miss Lisa's Grade 3 students had a session with Miss Alison - our counselor. The children were offered to make a decision in a real-life situation, discuss consequences and share reasons for their opinions and choices. I supported our English learners and they all managed to understand the subject of the discussion and share their ideas. The moral values were discussed and the children made the connections between their values and the decisions they make.

All the student had to share their values with the rest of the class.

As Miss Anita continued working on her assessment of reading, our Grade 3 students and I explored the six various ways to start a story in an unusual way. First, the children shared their ideas of sizzling story starters. After the discussion, I taught our students how to start a story in six different ways. The children practiced starting the story with a dialogue, sound effects (onomatopoeia), a question, action lead, snapshot of a small moment and a flashback.
The next day Miss Anita's class had a session with our librarian Miss Rachel about sizzling story starters they were able to make connections to what they already knew.

All the children enjoyed listening to the book Miss Rachel read.
