Thursday October 10

I am so sorry that I have not posted anything on the Blog this week.

On Wednesday we went to the Fish Creek Library and we were looking at different things that caught our eye (GA).  We noticed that the shape of the library is a broken a part pyramid (JS). When we came into the building we got to watch a slide show of old pictures of when the library was being built. After we got to explore the whole library (AF). Some students read, some students played, some students crafted and some explored. One of the things we learned is there is an amphitheater hidden under the floor and this is where they store things. They couldn't finish this part of the library because there wasn't enough money (DS).  I never knew they had so many offices (ST). The library was built in 1983 (SC). Today we sketched the Fish Creek Library and answered some of the questions we had about the story of that building (TD).
 


Today we finished our read aloud called "A series of Unfortunate Events". It is about three children whose parents have dies in a house fire and are sent to live with a near relative. The relative only wants the money that the children inherited. The events in the book share all the mischievous plans Count Olaf (the near relative) have to try to get the fortune of the children. This series has multiple books, and we have decided to start the second book of the series.

One of the students in our class brought in moss from their alley. He challenged us to try to grow the moss ourselves. We have decided to start an experiment and were trying to make it grow on each table group (JV). Each table group has decided on what they want to try to grow their moss on. Some groups are trying just rocks, some are combining woods chips with soil, and groups are using sand. It was suggested that students see what they have at home to put into the container to support this experiment. Not much is needed - no more than a small baggie as the containers are small.


Reminders
Field study on Wednesday. - 3 students still need to bring back their forms

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.

Welcome to Online Learning

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s):       Thank you for your patience as we work through some necessary planning in preparation for resuming structured learning opportunities for your child. I understand there has been a lot of uncertainty about what learning is going to look like moving forward. I can assure you that we are going to work on key learning outcomes at-home within the parameters established by the province and CBE.       To help me understand your family’s access to technology, can you please provide responses to the following three questions:   §    Does your child have access to a computer, laptop, iPad/tablet, smart phone? If so which types of technology might be accessible?    §    Does your child have access to the Internet?   §    Is your only option a paper-based education for your child?       While the lessons I will be providing are aimed to minimize technology, there will still be times where we will need to rely on technology as

Week 5

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   We hope everyone is doing well. The grade 3 teachers have been reviewing the work students have been handing in  this past week.  We are pleased with the work we have been seeing and are hoping that the changes  we have made to the structure of our classrooms  have made  schoolwork  easier for your family.    Please ensure that when your child is submitting an  assignment,  they click the submit button on the top  right-hand  corner of the screen. This ensures that their teacher knows the assignment has been  completed!              On a side note, please know we appreciate all the work our families are doing at home with the students. We understand every family has their own complexities at home and everyone is trying their best. We are here for all of you, to help you through this new type of learning. Please reach out if there is  anything  we can so to support you.     Below you will find a link to a PDF version of the Online l
