Tuesday October 13

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.

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...

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.

Happy Tuesday! I hope all of you are dressing warm for this weather. It is unbelievable how cold it is outside. These past two days week we have continued with our exploration of the human ear. Students made 3D models of the parts of the ear and then presented their models to the class. It was interesting to hear what materials were chosen for each part. For example, one student shared they chose a backwards cup for the pinna so the sound has a big opening and then funnel into the ear canal. One student explained they chose a material that was flexible to represent the ear drum so that the sound waves can create a vibration which can then travel through the bones to the cochlea. Ask your child how the ear works and what the purpose of each part may be. Field trip forms for the zoo were handed out today. I will need 5 volunteers for this field study. If you are available, please let me know through email. I cannot take more than 5 so the first 5 people will have preference on thi...
