Structures

We had fun trying to build the highest structure possible with marshmallows and spaghetti.  The grade 3's had so much fun collaborating with edible products!  In the end, the highest structure was almost a meter high before it collapsed. 

App Project

We continue to collaborate with Ms. Juneau's class and Mr. Rowan's grade 11/12 class from Holy Trinity.  Teams have completed and submitted their artwork to the high school students for their games. They are now working on the questions that must be answered correctly in order to advance to further levels in their video games.  Each team has a theme and they are building their questions based on that theme.  Some examples include math, space and history and these are based on curriculum areas in grade three and four. 

Kandinsky Art Project

Thank you to Lawson's mom, Tiffany for coming to our class today to lead our class art project.  Through great collaboration, we have created a beautiful piece of art.  Students are also creating  individual pieces to accompany our Kandinsky collaboration.  They will be on display in the school during Education Week.

Weekly Homework

Below is the note that was shared in the April Homework.  Please encourage your child to complete their homework each week! 

We are about eight weeks away from EQAO testing so we have increased the number of homework questions each week during the month of April and the first few weeks of May.  Not only is this a great review before testing, these questions help to build on and reinforce the skills and content learned this year. Finally, this practice is also helping to  prepare our grade 3 friends for grade 4! We strongly recommend that students complete the math and writing tasks assigned.

Friday Fun!

We earned a pj reward this week and we came up with some great math problems using squares of chocolate.  Students created problems using different operations (x,+), fractions, creating fact families and in the end decided that there was a way to evenly divide the chocolate among twenty students.  My son Jack joined the grade three students for the fun and he was treated like a celebrity!

PJ Day

Good Friday Morning!  Just a quick reminder that students are invited to wear their pyjamas today as well as bring in a 'stuffy' and slippers.  Have a great day!
