 Carnaval Updates and Reminders

  • Monday we are welcoming a virtual guest to speak to us about the Francophone community in Alberta
  • Remember to bring your frozen ice blocks Tuesday for our design challenge
  • Remember you can wear plaid and toques all week
  • Last day of Carnaval is Wednesday the 10th (also the last day of school before Teacher's Convention)

Snowshoeing

"We had different sizes of snowshoes. The orange snowshoes were the biggest and the red ones were the smallest, and the green ones were in the middle. We had to walk across the field." Evelyn



Snowflake Art

"We used papers that were different colours to make these odd shapes that were then connected to make snowflakes. The papers were square or rectangles and we had to cut them to make a square." Liam

"We had to cut a specific way or else it wouldn't turn out. We had to use glue to stick it all together and we had to stick it to the sides of each other and then we had to stick the bottoms together." Makena


Folklofolie

"They taught us Scottish dance and they showed us a couple of traditions they did and some of their instruments." Owen

"They were basically teaching us traditions that they do on the Carnaval. They got to teach us different dancing and how to sing some of their songs." Mila



Multiplication

"We are starting to learn multiplication and we are starting off to learn some patterns. We are getting into groups and doing a bunch of problems that include multiplication." Charlie

"One of our multiplication questions was there are a bunch of different sessions - 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We had to write and tricks or patterns that we notice in those sections." Makena




Ecosystem Presentations and Locked Room Design

"For the locked room we would get a locked room puzzle and have to make it about our animal and take all these things to put into it. When we put it all together Mrs. Glowacki and Mrs. Gainor would help us and tell us how to do it, with our partners." Isla

"There was a couple of puzzles, there was true or false and there was a matching picture one" Jumana

"We presented our animal that we were assigned. Two groups did videos and the rest of us did books." Dorela






Our Own Fresh Start Routines

"For our Fresh Start we would pick our partners, at least four. We would do little workouts like squats or push-ups." Evelyn

"In our groups we had to have one boy, girl, grade 3, grade 4.We also had to do ten exercises and ten of each" Ege

  Upcoming Events February 24th - Pink Shirt Day February 24th - Virtual Celebration of Learning, on Google Classroom Multiplication "When we're doing multiplication we learned how to make arrays as strategies. An array is like a picture for example, 3 X 5 is 3 rows of 5." Son "We did multiplication centres in the library and we worked in partners to do everything that it said to do. There was one that said to do the times tables for a specific number. You could also choose your own numbers" Ege Capture the Wind Presentation (Presented by Relay) "There was a French Immersion kid's mom and she gave us facts about wind turbines and how they spin. She made a homemade one and gave us quizzes to do when we were doing the presentation." Dorela "We learned about how many turbines and the length of them, and how they produce more electricity when they spin in the wind." Colton Floor Hockey "We have to hit a puck to the other goal and there&#

Math   This week we continued out work with addition in math - focusing on the stacked or traditional strategy. Next week we will move onto subtraction.  Grade 3s completed both sections of the math SLA as well.  Grade 4s worked on solving a low floor high ceiling problem by breaking the problem down, discussing what they think, and looking for patterns. Science Grade 3s began an experiment with salt today, following the scientific method. They worked to create reasonable a hypothesis with a reason.  Grade 4s read about the kaleidoscope and then created their own using everyday materials. They were focusing on how light interacts with reflective surfaces and translucent objects. Big Concepts We have been looking at the idea of "Geology" and are just about to wrap up our class concept map. We have started to look at "The Land" and "The People".

After we read it each day we did a retell of the story." Mila "We also did some word work. There was a couple of letters and they were scrambled and we had to try to make some words from the letters." Son Math "We were working with shapes and patterns and we had to use shapes to make a pattern. and we had to write about it."

Son "We had to make triangle with one dot in the middle and we had to find different ways to make the triangles so there would still be one dot in it." Isla "We tried to find as many triangles as we ca
