This week we voted on our new class novel. We are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have already read 4 chapters. It is about a poor boy named Charlie who lives next to a chocolate factory run by a man named Willy Wonka.

We have started our new Science unit about building and using different materials. On Thursday we used about 5 different materials and built a bridge that needed to hold as many rulers as possible. Today we had a challenge to build a dome out of straw, string, pipe cleaners and tape that needed to hold up a visual journal.

Also we are going to present a poem for the class next Friday. Mr. Pressey put a bunch of poems around the class and we chose one we liked. We need to read with expression, look at the audience, use body language and try to remember it.

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone that we are having our first Google Meet tomorrow at 11 am. If you have not been able to log onto Google Classroom please contact me and I will try to help out however I can. To get onto Google Classroom log onto your student email in the same way that you would get onto Google Docs at school. I should have sent you a class invite. Remember this week we are using Raz Kids for Reading and Prodigy for Math and it would be wonderful if you were practicing your multiplication facts. Grade 3's need to know up to 5 x 5 and the grade 4's need to know up to 7 x 7. We will be using these skills next week when we begin using Google Classroom. Have a great day.

March 15 Remember parents please book your parent teacher conference. You can do this by going to https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/home.html This week we continued to develop our engineering skills. We were designing our blue prints for our final bridge building activity. We were thinking about how shapes and materials will make our structures stronger. It was also important to think about how we could design using tension and compression. We have been exploring subtraction with regrouping again since it has been a long time and we were having some trouble remembering how to do it. We set a goal of getting 16 out of 32 subtraction regrouping questions correct and we achieved our goal :) Grade 3 Home Practice Grade 4 Home Practice
