  Hi Parents, Thank you so much for participating in our celebration of learning. If you haven't done it maybe find time this weekend. Here is what we learned about this week. In science, we learned about rock testing. We did the fizz test,  magnetic test, Moh hardness test, lustre test and the streak test. Ask me how to do these tests. In math, we started subtracting.  Next week we move into 3 digit subtraction. If you have time practice some single digit subtraction this weekend to get ready for next week. In social studies we started to learn about India. Ask me what we learned so far. I think it would be nice to be a cow in India ask me why! In writing we wrote a rhyming poem for the winter celebration and we also made snow globes.  Reminders: Please book for Parent Teacher conferences this Saturday Half day Thursday and no school Friday next week We will need 1 clean jar for each student to make crystals (Pasta sauce size) Thanks so much, The Grade 3's

 Happy Friday the 13th!! We are learning how to do things in different ways. Today we had our first virtual assembly called, "Tuscany Together" on Google Meet. Ask me about what it was like? This week we learned how to use the apostrophe to make contractions. Ask me what contractions I know. On Tuesday we had an amazing Remembrance day ceremony. The link was sent to you via e-mail please watch it if you didn't have a chance. If you would like to see our book it is in our Google classroom. This week we finished creating our culture. We have learned about how cultures includes: language, food, clothing, holidays, festivals, landmarks, architecture, statues, flags, music, art, sports and games. We will be making a brochure about our culture we created to share with you for the celebration of learning on Nov 25th. In math, we are adding 3 digit numbers. Make a question for me and see how quick I am getting at solving it! We hope you have a great weekend! The Grade 3's Rem...

 

 Hi Parents,  This week we learned about Remembrance Day. We made tissue paper poppies for our wreath. We had Mrs Arcure's Husband, Warrant Officer Shibley speak to us on zoom about what the Canadian Military does. We made an alphabet book called R is for Remembrance Day and made silhouette art. On Wednesday we had a virtual field trip to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Ask me about what we learned. We learned a new math game called sum it up, if you have time you can play it with me. We are continuing to make our own country and culture based off the book Westlandia. Ask me about my culture I have made. We will send you the assembly link when it is finished for you to enjoy.  Reminders: Wednesday, Nov 11th

Hi Parents, As most things that are in our lives right now, Remembrance Day will look a little different this year. The students will continue our school's tradition by making a digital service this year. We will be taping the ceremony and will share it on our BLOG for you and your family when it is complete. If you are new to our school, you are welcome to share a picture of a family member who served with their name and relation to you attached. For example, Sgt Smith, served in Afghanistan, Mary's grandpa. Please send these pictures to me before Tuesday so we have time to add them. If you have sent pictures in previous years, we will continue to use your slide unless you let us know otherwise. Our class is making a virtual book so no need to dress up for it.  Just a reminder there is no school Wednesday Nov 11th in honor of Remembrance Day.  Farrah Hewitt
