Students and their families are invited to our Disciplinary Literacy Night on October 17th from 6 pm - 7 pm. Come see how literacy lives in the disciplines as your child takes you through hands-on activities in the role of a scientist, author, illustrator, entomologist, environmental geologist, and musician. All family members are welcome!
Artist in Residence Schedule:
A schedule has been sent out to all parents who filled out their blue volunteer forms. If you did not receive the email and would like to volunteer, please see the schedule below and email me at mldevereux@cbe.ab.ca
Students have been putting on the hat of a geologist (or protective goggles :) while testing rocks with different grade 3 teachers throughout the week. They are excited to be able to share these experiments with you during our disciplinary literacy night!
We have been looking closely at what people need to have a good quality of life. There have been many discussions about what we need, as opposed to what we want. With a focus on India, students have considered the quality of life not only in different parts of Canada, but also in different parts of the world.
Students have continued to participate in guided reading circles, responding to literature and playing phonics games to help with spelling, as well as their reading.
Students have been solidifying their understanding of pull apart numbers and stacking, while some were tasked with solving word problems. These problems required testing different combinations, looking for the patterns and figuring out if there was a formula that could be applied to more complex problems of the same kind. We will continue to look at strategies for problem solving throughout the year.
Students shared all the things that they were thankful for to finish off our week. Happy Thanksgiving!
