Thank you to all of the parents and caregivers who attended our Parent-Teacher Night. Classes will resume on April the 8th.

We had an excellent final week before the break. This past week we continued to explore the engineering process by building bridges. We used our blue prints to begin. All of our lessons about material testing and shapes aided us in our construction. Many of us have begun testing, trouble-shooting and modifying our designs.

We also worked hard to finish up some of the things that we have been doing before the break. We finished up our reports about Canada using the jot notes that we took over the past month. It was important for us to remember to include an introductory paragraph, body paragraphs with introductory sentences and an ending paragraph. Now we are all ready to start researching some other countries from around the world when we get back. Ms Nguyen finished reading I Survived, which we really enjoyed.

Here is some additional math practice for other the holidays. If it gets brought in after the break it can be added for some class points.

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
