Language Arts

This week, in Language Arts we were doing a new Talk For Writing. It was a persuasion all about how chewing gum in class is a TERRIBLE idea. We learned that the purpose of a persuasion is to convince someone about something. All last week we practiced saying the entire persuasion because, "if we can say a persuasion we can write a persuasion."

Math 

In Math we learned some strategies to solve two-step word problems. We also learned how to use a picture or diagram to help us solve a word problem. The Grade 4's learned a strategy to help them solve two-digit times one digit multiplication. 


Social Studies 
The Glenbow Museum lent us a special kit that was full of artifacts like posters and pictures all about how the newcomers came to Alberta. We looked at photos of newcomers from Asia, Eastern Europe, England, Iceland and Africa and why they came to Canada as well as where they settled. We looked at some posters that were sent to attract people to Western Canada.

April 16

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
