Here is what we have been learning this week!

Literacy: This week grade 3's participated in a school wide write. Students wrote a story to match the prompt below. This was a great introduction to story writing, which we will go more into depth with next week. We also continued to listen to our class novel "The One and Only Ivan". Our new Word Wizard words are: until, time, mother, over, place, right, follow, turn, once, & face. 

Math: 24 hour time was our main focus this week. Grade 3's were given optimal time to practice reading time through centres. I can't wait to see how they did on their SWYK. Next week, grade 3's will be starting to learn about measurement. 

Science: Student's learned about protecting plants and animal and they shared what they knew about living systems by creating a PWIM. Next week, we will be starting a big project where grade 3's will be connecting their understanding of living systems to how First Nations communities interact with the land, animals, plants and the seasons. 

Social Studies: We learned about government symbols, such as the Alberta Coat of Arms. Grade 3's also created their own Coat of Arms to represent themselves. Ask your child was symbols are the Alberta Coat of arms, and what these symbols represent. 

Physical Education: We have been preparing for Badminton by practicing with different racquets.  

Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather!
