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.

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
