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 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.

April 14 - 17th Math

Hello, This week for Math we will be using Prodigy  prodigygame . Prodigy is a Maths game where students answer math questions in order to cast spells and collect points. I have assigned questions related to Math concepts that we have covered in class. Once those questions have been answered the program chooses appropriate additional questions based on the students ability level. It is important not to give too much support when students are answering the questions otherwise the program will continue to give out even more challenging questions.  How to help If you notice that they are having trouble with a questions, let them answer but then show them on a piece of paper either what the question is asking or how you might solve the problem. Also near the top of the question there is a prompt button that will give a clue and some math tools such as pens and 100 charts that can also support them. To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts with your c
