February 4th - 8th

This week in Social Studies we began to research celebrations that we have in Canada. The first thing that we did was we brainstormed some questions. We asked, what day is the celebration held on? and what traditions do we have for the celebration? This time we used videos like Are We There Yet to help us with some of our research. We learned about some celebrations like Stampede, Canada Day and Halloween.

For Math we began practicing our 1-5 mixed times tables because we are ready for a challenge since we have already practiced each times table. Parents can help help us by writing down some questions or asking us and that will help us get better. We can also play games like Prodigy or Free Rice.

One of our favourite things to do this week is we finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This is a story about a little boy who is very poor but he wins a golden ticket to visit a special factory run by a famous chocolate make name Willy Wonka.

Shi Ha! That is the sound we make when we do a question mark in Kung Fu Punctuation. Some of us got our yellow belts which means they can use capitals and periods. Also some of us got our orange belts and that is because they can use question marks.

Please remember that next Thursday and Friday there is no school because the teachers have Teacher Convention next week. Also there is no school on the following Monday because of Family D

Good morning everyone, I am still in the process of calling everyone and letting you know your new Razkids' login and making sure that you are able to get onto Google Classroom. For the students that I have not called yet, you can go to your gmail and use the link that I sent you to join our Google Classroom. It has been great talking to you. It should be nice today so get out and enjoy a walk to the sunshine.

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.

Welcome Back April 6th 2020

Hi everyone, I hope that everybody had a wonderful break. I know that it was not as social as we would have wanted and the weather has not quite met my expectations of spring yet. But we are back! Over the next couple of days I will be contacting each of you to find out how your break has been and how your family is handling the new situation. I will also be asking you other questions: is anything that we can help you or your family with? can we help you get in contact with any community supports? what kind of computer access do you have? do you need paper learning packages? do you know your student email and log in information? do you need your passwords reset? do you need help getting onto D2L/ Google Classroom? is your guardian receiving emails? Once we have all of this information we will be in a much better position to help you learn from home. Thanks to the people who were checking the blog over the break.  For today I will be adding things to the...
