Today students finished the rough draft of their Winter Writing. They will be typing this piece of work and doing some winter illustrations to go with it.

In Math, the grade threes have started their month of giving assignment. They completed a "wish list" of items to donate, and now they are looking up prices. Within this unit, students are practicing their addition skills, rounding, and the life skill of staying within a budget :)

Learning Sprints have ended and we are back to our regular afternoon routine. In the next few weeks I will be doing one-on-one reading testing with each student to see how they are progressing. Keep in mind that this reading assessment is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding where a child is at.

Students were introduced to their new Science unit: Light and Shadow. Over the next couple weeks, they will be designing and carrying out three experiments on their own. For these experiments they will need a flashlight. If you have a flashlight at home, please bring it to school by Wednesday!

This week in Social Studies, students are working hard at creating their journal entires and pictures for their scrapbooks. They have planned some awesome road trips around our wonderful province.

Reminders: Today is the last day to sign up for the virtual school closure meeting!

Friday there is no school because of a PD Day.

Bring a flashlight to school by Wednesday!

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...
