June 3rd- 7th

We had lots of fun this week in Gym. We continued using measurement and doing are class olympics. We did our soccer kicks and measured them using meters. On Wednesday we had our teachers come in from Sports Hub and they did some relay races with us. Thursday we had really enjoyed learning how to play belly baseball. Our favourite part was flying onto the big mats.

Our big project this week was continuing to work on our country slides. We are going to start doing our class presentations next week and we needed to get ready. We are doing a 3-5 minute presentation so we had to finish our slides, make our speech notes and then practice our speeches. If our speeches were not long enough we had to add in some more information.

We are really enjoying reading The Name of the Book is Secret. We did some more visualizing. The story is starting to get more interesting. The author is making it exciting by adding lots of cliff hangers

The best part of the week was when David Bouchard came to our school. He taught us about the medicine wheel. He also told us about his life and that mental health is real and important. His main message was that it is important to love and respect yourself. Mr. Bouchard brought some beautiful flutes with him and he played some wonderful songs while he was telling us stories about himself and his metis culture.  One lucky student at the school got one of his books that he signed.

In Math we did another survey about which animals we wanted to colour. We did lots better this time. We remembered to include some observations this time and to keep our information neat and organized.

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 wi...

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.
