We've been busy...

Heavens to Betsy!  Where does the time go?  Good morning grade 3 parents!  We are in the thick of EQAO and I am so impressed with how the students have persevered this past week.  The testing is heavy and new to grade 3 students but students have still come into our classroom with enthusiasm each and every morning.   We are finished Language and move on to Math today and tomorrow.  There are so many students in our class that have expressed their excitement for the math testing which puts a smile on my face.  They know that they have worked hard this year and they are going into this with confidence!  Our afternoons have been spent doing Structure presentations.  Wow!  I am so impressed with the content and delivery of the projects.  I will post some pictures of the projects later this week.  While homework for the year is complete, we will continue to work hard right up until the end of the school year.

Monday, April 30, 2018.

Dear Parents,    
                                                          
The science unit that we are currently learning about at school is Strong and Stable Structures.  As part of this unit, students are asked to do a simple research project individually or with a partner at home over the next few weeks.  For this assignment, students are asked to research one famous structure that they will present to the class. Included in this month’s homework are four slides with ideas of famous structures that students may select from.  This research can be typed or written and placed on a large piece of bristle board.

On the back of this letter are some questions that should be addressed when researching.  Students should have a mix of written work and pictures to show and present to the class.  Students will receive an oral presentation mark for this assignment.  Students will also be assessed on how they are as audience members.  We will discuss oral presentations and what is expected here at school.  Students are welcome to use cue cards to guide them through their presentation.  

Presentations will be during the week of May 22-25.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you!
Ms. Juneau and Mrs. Sloan




Project : Research a Famous Structure

Find out more about a world famous structure.  Your structure is _____________________.
Design a poster with drawings and descriptions to share what you find out.  
  1. Where can your structure be found?
  2. What purpose was it built for?
  3. What is it used for now?
  4. What city and country can your structure be found in?
  5. How big is your structure? What are its measurements?
  6. Is there a reason why your structure is shaped the way it is?
  7. When was your structure built?
  8. What is your structure famous for?
  9. Share some interesting facts about your structure.
  10. Is there any other information that you would like to share with your audience?
Good Luck!

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.

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!

App Project

Our class, along with Ms. Juneau's grade 3 class has been collaborating with a grade 11/12 Technology class from Holy Trinity over the past month.  Students are creating artwork and curriculum based multiple choice questions that the high school students will program.  Our students have come up with some fun themes and company names to base their video games on.  Yesterday, the Holy Trinity students visited us to check our progress, collect some artwork and explain our next task.  We have our work cut out for us before they visit again in April!
