June 2-7th

In Science we were building simple machines. There was an axels and wheels kit, a leavers and pulleys kit and a gears and leavers kit. These were all K'nex kits and we worked in small groups. We could build so many cool things using instructions like wells, scissors, chainsaws (not the dangerous kind), see-saws, sailboats, drills and egg beaters and way more.

Yesterday some of the students started doing their presentations for the class. We had some amazing presentations about Mexico, India, the U.K., Russia, South Korea and Japan. We used our index cards to help us remember our speeches and there were some amazing slides. People really remembered to use expressive voices and eye-contact. Mr. Pressey was giving us feedback about our stars and wishes.

By the way. We are having our Celebration of Learning night on Monday, June 17th from 5 - 6 PM. We really hope to see you all there. We will be sharing lots of information about Math and spelling games. We will be showing off our country research as well as some our simple machine building kits.

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
