Wow! It has been a very busy past few days in room 8! We have had some in depth discussions about what culture is and looking at how different culture can be in the 4 countries we are learning about. Food was our major topic this past week - we learned all about the different types of food that is important in the countries - and after each lesson we were all very hungry! We had the opportunity to try pirogies from Ukraine - thank you to the wonderful parent volunteer who prepared them and sent them in for the student to try! We learned that they are dough with mashed potatoes inside! They were very yummy!

Thursday is our field study to the Calgary Zoo. As of right now the weather is supposed to be really nice, however, this is Calgary and the weather is know to change! I am asking that you send your child to school that day ready to be outside. We will have indoor options for our activities but will try and be outside when possible!

Upcoming Field Studies:

February 19th - Arts Commons
March 4th - Studio Bell
March 17th - Earth Science Conference

Please let me know if you are able to volunteer for any of these dates!

Thank you,

Mrs. Giborski!

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   This is a very sad week for us as this will be the last week where we see all of your wonderful faces on the google meet ups,  we will be reading t he last Friday letter you wrote to us and of course  watching  the  talent show to share your passions.  All the grade three teachers are sad to see the year come to an end.  On that note, we will be changing the time of the meet up this coming Friday. Instead of meeting at 1pm, we will be meeting at 9am. This will allow for siblings to watch the grade 4 celebration and be done b efore noon. Please make not e  of that in your calendar so your child does not miss out.    In closing, w e would like to share some  housekeeping  items with you to keep you informed.    Picking up items  – Mr. Laidlaw will have sent  a  time  of when and  where you can pick up the rest of your child’s learning items. We have placed everything that we can find into clear plastic bags with the  child ’ s  name on t

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   Can you believe it's June already? Time has flown by in many ways, but in others ,  it has come to a  standstill .  As we communicate with   our   families,  teachers  have noticed that priorities are constantly changing .  Spending time with family, being outside, and meeting up with cohort families has taken  precedent  over  school .  Some families are done with constantly pushing their children  and  dealing with the  stress  of  trying get all  school work  done.  Please know we understand and its okay to stop and breath and take a break. Really . . . it’s okay.    Knowing that some of our students are  struggling  with  their drive to complete tasks, we have modified some of the ways we will be  presenting the work.  For example, y ou will notice that Math will be more of a review choice  board,   like  the options choice board. We ask that students choose a math task each day  and  record the task in the chart . If there is  wor

Each student is bringing home their TWAS journal that talk about what we have been up to! Please take some time to read through it with your child and talk about their learning! Please sign and return their journal for Monday! Feel free to write a letter back to your child if you wish!   We have arranged for a walking field study to Fish Creek Library.
