It was another day of exploration and discovery! One of the many things I love about my job is having the opportunity to watch as my students experience the world around them! Having the opportunity to take as many field trips as we do is an unbelievable perk of my job! Today was no exception! I got to listen as my students tried to figure out what should be placed around a wet land in order to preserve it. I got to witness the discussions they had while handling various artifacts and as they were trying to determine in they belonged in a wetland or not! I have to say that my very favourite part was watching them all take part in a short play about the lifecycle of a frog, and the various things that impact their lives!
After our presentation the students got to explore the zoo and one of their tasks was to find an animal from each of the 4 countries we are studying! I am so proud of how all of them rose to the challenge and were excited to see what they could find!

Important information:
- Tomorrow is a PD day!
- Still looking for volunteers for Feb 19th, March 4th, and March 17th! Please let me know if you are able to join us!

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

I have finally been able to get our blog up and running again! I apologize for the delay! It has been a very busy week in room 8! 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. It will be on Wednesday October 9 th   from 12:30 – 3:30pm. We would like to have a few parents join us for this experience.
