Welcome to the 2019 – 2020 school year! 

I would like to take the time to introduce myself, Denean Langlois. I will be your child’s grade 3 teacher. This year we will be working in room 7. 

I will be waiting outside to meet you and your child Tuesday morning. I will be standing by the basketball hoops carrying a clipboard with my name on it to make it easier for you. Students will be using the north doors when they enter and exit the school at all times. 

I would like to remind you of our school hours: 8:55am – 3:35pm, with early dismissal Fridays at 12:30pm.  

To help your child be successful this year, please consider the following: 
  • Eat a healthy, hearty breakfast 
  • Have a good night’s sleep (go to bed at a reasonable time) 
  • Send a healthy snack for morning flex time and if something is needed in the afternoon 
  • Send indoor running shoes 

My blog is in the process of being updated, however once it is active it can be found at dlanglois@blogspot.com. Information about the learning happening in the classroom and important updates and reminders can be found there. It will be updated throughout the week. My twitter handle is @MRSLangloisCBE.  

If you would like to get a hold of me, the best method is through email. I can be reached at dllanglois@cbe.ab.ca. I can also be reached through phone by calling the school and leaving a message with the front office. I look forward to learning alongside your child. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. 

Sincerely, Denean Langlois

Students have had an amazing week getting to know each other, the class routines and reviewing concepts taught last year. For example . . . . . . in Math we have been playing two Math games to review place value. Have your child teach you either 'guess my number' or 'place value war'. By the end of grade three students in grade three should be able to understand, represent and say numbers up to the thousands place value (9 999). One of the key things that we worked on when we say numbers is to avoid using the word 'and'. Have your child explain why. . . . in Art we have been reviewing colour. We already know colours but we reviewed which colours are considered primary and secondary colours. We then identified warm and cool colours. We should have our art pieces completed for parent teacher interviews. . . . in writing we are getting back into the groove of remembering capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end of sentences. Students comp...

Today at school we had a Math problem. We are suppose to figure out how many pencils might be in two boxes if there is about 500 pencils (TD). We tried multiple strategies to figure out the answer (KC). For example some used a picture, division, and adding. This problem was an easier problem to learn the process of problem solving. In Science we were planning and talking about our field study tomorrow. We get to learn more about the new central library and other interesting buildings around the area. Our purpose for tomorrow field study is to explore different buildings and be able to compare them (GA). At the end of the day today we did exploration time. We had building centers. We were building structures (DD). This is to get us ready for our big project which we will be introduced to next week. Reminders - Tomorrow is our field study - dress for the weather. Only bring items that are needed in our backpack. Leave everything else at home.

This afternoon students in room 7 explored the Scientific Method. We began by listing the 7 steps. Next we watched a small video clip to help understand each step. Students are in the process of creating a vocabulary flip chart looking at each word to understand the process.  The words we are exploring are: procedure, problem, hypothesis, conclusion, new questions, materials, observations. Ask your child which order these go in! Student Reflections:  "Today I finished my zones of regulation tools." (DD) "Today we did a flip book of the Scientific method." (AF) "We continued to work on place value riddles." (GA) Reminders Please book a time for interviews, they are now open.
