Here is what we learned this week...

Literacy: This week grade 3's learned about different book genres. Our classroom turned into "Schu's Book Cafe", and students had a taste of five different genres- mystery, historical fiction, myths & legends, non fiction, and realistic fiction. We also shared out circle stories to friends in Ms. Muma's class. 

Math: We started a new unit this week- measurement. Students learned about the two measuring systems- Metric and Imperial. Ask your child what measurement units are used in each! They also learned about perimeter and explored it by measuring objects in the classroom. 

Science: Grade 3's started constructing a group project. They created posters that will reflect their learning about Indigenous peoples connection to the land, animals and seasons. More updates in this project coming soon. 

Social Studies: We completed our unit on Government systems! Phew!

Physical Education: Grade 3's played badminton games. 

Field Trip to the Hangar Flight Museum: Here is some learning that stuck with our class..."Without wings an airplane can't go up"- Amal, "There is licensed number for the plane on its wing"- Layan, "The glider plane has no engine"- Fazal, "People who built planes looked at birds to help them design"- Malia. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
