End of the Week September 16th - 18th

We had a really exciting week in Room 8. Mr. Pressey was away with the grade 6's at their Tim Horton's camp so we had Ms. Hoblak in with us.

On Monday we started our Math groups. Some of us worked with Mr. Pressey, before he left, learning about place value. The rest of the class was split into 3 groups and we were playing different Math games.

In Social Studies we finished using Zooming in Alberta to research the six different regions. We researched about the different animals, plants, cities and landforms in each of the six regions. After that Ms. Hoblak did an art project with us all about the Parkland region. We painted a picture that include lakes, cattails, and a city background. Our paintings also included some ducks because the Parkland region is know as the "duck factory."

In Physical Education we were continuing with our basketball unit and we were do all sorts of shooting games. We learned that a good shot has to start with our legs, then go up through our arms and finish with our wrists.

We had a short week this week because we have Parent-Teacher Interviews on Thursday. Have a great weekend and enjoy all of the amazing changes in the plants around the city.

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

Mr. Pressey
