Busy Busy Busy

Last week was super busy in Grade 3! One of our favourite activities was doing a Google Hangout with a school named St. Francis is Junction City, Kansas! So cool to be involved in this learning opportunity. Together both classes emptied the seeds out of their pumpkins, estimated the seeds and we counted the final tally! 

Our VIP table continues to be a success! Students chosen as our VIPs display excellent learning skills and they are awarded with this favourite spot in the classroom. 

In Math we continue to work on addition and subtraction strategies. The students are becoming experts at using number lines to solve problems. Quite a few of them had many "aha" moments. Ask them all about it! 

We finished Procedural writing this week. After creating our monsters, we explained how to put them to bed! Such a fun writing activity. Grade 3 has some great imaginations. Some monsters could only go to sleep after eating 3 pizzas! 

We completed a cool soil experiment and were anxious to see the results after the soil settled.

In Gym, we have been learning the skills of volleyball and got to participate in Rocks and Rings curling. So awesome to be able to learn a sport that means so much to Canadians! Power to Play continues to be a popular way to learn all about healthy eating. Can't wait for more secret missions! 

Looking forward to another week as we begin to talk about Remembrance Day and what that means to us. I will be away on Thursday and Friday this week as I will be attending a technology conference in Niagara Falls. Can't wait to come back and share all the knowledge.

 

  Pyjama Day to raise money for Unity Way was a huge success!
