Homework for the Week of October 12

-

 Make the Biggest Number

Grade threes also learned the game Make the Biggest Number. We played with a deck of cards. Divide the cards evenly amongst the players and remove the J, Q, K and Jokers.  Each player flips three random cards, and organizes their cards to make the biggest possible number. The player with the biggest number wins the round, and gets to keep all the cards.

*If you do not have a deck of cards at home, it would be helpful to buy one at the dollar store. We will be using cards for math games all year.

TrueFlix

Go to learnalberta.ca. Choose Online Reference Centre. Within the list, find TrueFlix. Each night, read one book from TrueFlix and do the activities that go along with it. We have been learning about animals in Science, so a good topic to start with might be Animal Kingdoms. The password for learnalberta.ca is 4105, and the username is LA06

Try Some International Cuisine!

We have been learning about quality of life in Peru, India, and Ukraine. As a fun piece of homework for your child, allow them to try some new food from one of the countries. Many international foods can be found in grocery stores. Here are three nearby restaurants you can order from as well:

Heritage Bakery and Deli

A Touch of India

Pio Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken

Important Reminder: Last week, students brought home "family interview" questions about their family history. Some students have still not completed their interview. Please complete them tonight and bring them back to school tomorrow so that all students can get started on their collage. In order to personalize their collage, students may want to include family photos. These photos will be well taken care of, and included in a wonderful project that will be sent home at the end of the month.  :) Mrs. Rowein

 Happy Monday! Its another busy week full of new learning. Here are a few things parents will need to support their children with: 1. Science- your student has been asked to collect trash (can be recyclable items or not) to bring to school for a project on Friday. Please make sure anything they are collecting is clean and safe to handle. 2. Health- Grade fours brought home a short and simple interview to help start conversation around changes during puberty. 3. Social Studies- All students brought home interview questions to examine their own family's experiences with immigration. This information will be very important to students, as it is the basis for their next big Social Studies project. Please answer the questions in detail with your child and send them back to school by Friday April 16.  :) Mrs. Rowein

 The countdown is on for Spring Break! Students have been busy wrapping up projects and units before their week off. In Language Arts, students have now finished writing their Important Books. We are also reading a class novel called A Boy Called BAT. In Math, grade 3 have finished their unit on measurement and perimetre. This week we are having some fun with mental math, and learning thinking strategies that can help us with math in the real world. Science ended in a frustrating fashion. I had purchased a building kit to create cars. Unfortunately, the materials were very flimsy, and as hard as we tried to problem solve, most of our cars ended up breaking apart when we tried to make them move. It did teach us a lesson in patience and the importance of strong materials when building! Our most recent Social Studies unit is wrapping up as well. Today, students completed a writing assessment where they answered our "Big Question" for the unit in paragraph form. Now, we are creat...
