 I can't believe this is our last week of school before the holidays!

Today grade three finished up their mini unit on shapes. We will continue to revisit shapes in our units on measurement and 3D shapes later in the year. Tomorrow and Wednesday we will be doing a big review of all the concepts we have covered since September!

In Language Arts, we have been continuing short stories. Students have been reviewing the concepts of setting and character. They are stretching their thinking to analyze how good authors connect characters and setting in subtle ways. 

We have one more experiment to do in our Light and Shadow unit! I am proud to say I have seen students independence grow since taking on this inquiry unit.

This week we will be wrapping up our Alberta Road Trip assignment. Students will have their last day of class to work on their scrapbooks Wednesday. They must be completed and handed in by Thursday.

Reminder: The government of Alberta has mandated that January 4-8 learning will be online for all students. If your child needs a computer please email me or call the school so we can send one home with them before winter break. I will be prepping all students on how to use the Google classroom and Google meetings. 

Reminder #2: Tomorrow is crazy hair day!

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...
