 Today in Language Arts, we listened to the legend The Drum Calls Softly. Students were challenged to think beyond the text about the important messages in the story.

In Math, grade three have stared their shape and space unit. So far, they have learned about sides and vertices, and specific names for polygons.

In Science, students are working on their second experiment in our light and shadow unit. Today they planned a procedure and came up with a hypothesis. Tomorrow they will be testing their experiment.

Students have been busy working on their Social Studies scrapbooks. Unfortunately, not everyone has accomplished as much as we had hoped and therefore are taking it home for homework. If your child has brought home Social Studies homework, they are to finish their journal entries for the Foothills Region. They have a "Scrapbook Planner" in their red duotang with their ideas. Everyone has already started the rough draft of their journal entries in their writing notebook.

Starting tomorrow in Phys.Ed, we will be doing 5 days of Fitness leading up to Winter Break. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and pants for our workout!

Reminder that the first week of school, January 4-8 will e online for all grades. If you are in need of a device for your child, please contact the school and we will loan one to you.

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...
