Maple Syrup Collecting

Mr. Brundt came in today to talk to us about how they will be using the milk jugs we have been collecting for them. If you have a chance ask your child about it!

Milk Jugs

Part of our Science Curriculum in Grade three teaches about recycling, and environmental responsibility. Our school was asked to collect 1000 milk jugs to help out a community group. In return, the group will donate $100 (10 cents per jug). I have decided to have the 3B class take on this project, since it fits nicely with our curriculum. If your family has any 4L milk jugs between now and the beginning of March, please send them to school to be donated. We ask that the caps be removed and the jugs be rinsed. Thanks!

3D Models

We have been working on the concept of 3D Shapes in Math. We have been talking about their feature, such as vertices, edges and faces. The students created 3D Skeleton models of some 3D objects this week.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a restful break! We  were back at it in the classroom today. The students experimented with shapes and structures by building towers and testing out what kind of load they would hold.
Check them out!

How Many Ways

If you were not at math night, ask your kid what this is all about. Using this template for our morning routine with each day's date has really started to improve the students' number sense!

Snow SNOW SNOW!!

We have had alot of snow already this year. For arts education the students learned how to work with pastels. They modelled their pictures after the illustraions from the book "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner.

Social Studies

Our World is a big place...

We have been learning about life in different places around the world. This is a display of the students poems that they wrote given the prompt "our world is a big place, floating in space..."
