Update for April 8th

 Hi Parents,

Can you believe it is spring already? We are on the home stretch! We have had a great week back and have been hard at work! Yesterday we had Saakokoto talk to us about the Thunder King and the importance of spring to the Blackfoot people.  

In math we are learning about Division and are also creating a locked room about multiplication. When we are finished we will be excited to share it with you. Ask your child what type of problem they are working on. 

In Social studies we are continuing to learn about the Ukraine! Thank you for those extended out learning at home over the break and sent in pictures of pysanky eggs and pierogi feasts! We even had Tilly become a mini teacher and taught the class about her Ukrainian Roots!

In writing, we are learning jow to write a friendly letter. We have given each student a grade 1 one buddy from Mrs Hamm's class to be pen pals with. There were many gasps today when I told them that there was no e-mails or texting when I grew up. I feel so old!! :)

In science we will be learning about the ear next week and how sound it made.


I have attached some pictures of all our beautiful art.


Stay safe and take care,


Farrah

 Hi Parents, 10 more sleeps! I hope you and your family are doing well. Today we practiced describing hot chocolate and are making crystals. We are just wrapping up our subtraction unit and are making festive word problems. Just a reminder that this week the kiddos can wear their festive hats and shirts all week. Thursday will be the last day of classes (it is a full day) and it is Pajama Day. We voted on watching a movie Thursday afternoon. Please feel free to send a special snack for the movie. There is no school Friday. Classes will resume online Jan 5th. All the information will come to you over your break. Tomorrow the link for our virtual assembly will be sent to you and I will post it on the blog and classroom as well. Thank you again for all the generous gifts, this class spoils me each day! Merry Christmas Farrah Hewitt

Dec 3rd Update

 Hi Parents Thank you all for booking interviews tonight and tomorrow. This week we learned all about India. They have different festivals like Diwali and Holi. Ask me about these festivals. In math we are doing 3 digit subtraction with regrouping. Ask me about the Robin Hood rule. We did lots of art this week. I can't wait to show you my rangolis, mehendi hands and Christmas trees. Today we learned the plural rule. Most words you just add an S, if it ends in a hissing letter (S, X, CH, SH) we add an ES. If it ends in a and f we drop the f and add an VES. There are lots of jail words I will share some  with you.  Reminders: -Fun Snack next Friday Dec 11th- You can order in Healthy Hunger -Pajama day Dec 17th -Paper towel or toilet pape rolls and yarn needed if you have them (please don't go buy) -Last day of school Dec 17th -Festive hat and shirt week Dec 14th-17th Have a great weekend The Grade 3's
