Welcome to the 3/4W Learning at Home Page
Please note: all daily tasks and comments are now posted on my classroom Daily Page. Please click on this heading directly under the main page link on the menu.
Dear Students,
Welcome 3/4W students to our new learning community! During your time at home it is important that we stay connected with your learning via this new website. Below I have written some instructions for activities that you can do from home that are directly linked to the learning taking place in our class. While you are at home, try to embrace learning in different ways. You may like to do some cooking, gardening or even build something outside. Continue to be curious about the world around you.
The Department of Education has requested that we keep track of attendance during while doing remote learning. Could you please email me or fill in the contact form at the bottom of the webpage to let me know that you have engaged with the learning each day? Alternatively you could send me a photo of your learning if students would like to share that with me.
Take care and stay safe,
Wendy : )
Reading
Reading at home will look a lot like reading in the classroom. Each day you are expected to read for 30 minutes. During reading, you can record interesting vocabulary or questions you have. You need to track your reading on your reading tracker each day, including the pages read and your time spent reading. After three of these sessions, you are to complete a response that relates to the text you read. The responses will focus around your comprehension skills that we have been developing in class, such as predicting making-connections text-to text, text-to-self, text-to-world and questioning.
Steps:
Select a book to read, have your reading journal ready Read for 30 minutes, logging interesting words or questions in your work book Record your reading when you have finished reading Select a response
Response Ideas:
Write a response or a summary of what you read or viewed.
What did you learn?
What further questions do you have?

Writing
Writing at home will look a lot like writing in the classroom. Each day you are expected to engage in the writing process.
Steps to the ‘Writing Workshop’ process are as follows:
STAGE 1 - Planning
STAGE 2 - Composing
STAGE 3 - Revising
STAGE 4 - Editing
STAGE 5 - Publishing

Mathematics
My expectation is that you are completing two open-ended maths problems each day. Complete the open-ended problems in your exercise book. Select problems that you feel comfortable answering, if you don’t understand a part of the problem, choose another one, or ask an adult at home. Remember to continue skip counting by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 and think about the final digit patterns.

Mathletics
It is suggested that you complete Mathletics tasks at least three times per week, for 20 minutes each time.
