Friday December 13

It's Friday! Today was a very busy day . . . in fact the time got away from us as a class. We were so focused on what we were doing that we forgot to head down to the grade 4 celebration of learning. We have since sent a letter of apology to the students in grade 4 and have offered to have some share with us on Monday (if they are still interested). SORRY GRADE 4'S!

What we were busy doing today was celebrating Ms. McCurdys last day with us. Along with Miss. Bowers (the other grade 3 student teacher) they created a building challenge for the students using the elastics from Beakerhead. We combined all three class together, randomly put kids together in groups of three and watched them create some amazing creations using only popsicle sticks, elastics, plastic spoons and pompoms. They were to create a launcher that launched a pompom the furthest. Students had time to plan, then create and then test their designs. Many tried to incorporate strong shapes into their designs. See the pictures below.

See Mr. Emery's weekly reminders to see the daily festive spirit days
Wednesday am - students in room 7 will be doing their talent show

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 ...

Week 4

Week  4:        The grade 3 teachers have been reviewing the work students have been handing in along with the expectations from Alberta Learning. We have decided to change things a bit with the hopes that this will be easier on students and families as they juggle th e “new normal”.    Students will have expected assignments and optional assignments.  Each assignment leads to the next therefore they will need to be completed in order but not necessarily on the suggested day. Feedback will be given to students  as assignments are completed. We have also included rubrics and checklists to help students know how they will be marked as well as they can meet high er  expectations.    Optional assignments, such as the passion project, are included for students who want extra work. These will not be formally  assessed but  will be considered when looking at final marks for  Language Arts....
