Good Afternoon,
**Reminder tomorrow is fun lunch.
This morning we worked in our new writing groups. We are learning different strategies to help us with our story writing.
In math we continued looking at skip counting to help us solve for missing numbers in the multiplication chart. We also completed our own multiplication chart using skip counting by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
After lunch Ms. Russell read some of "Ms. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" the book is getting exciting as we are now learning about NIMH.
In social studies we finished our textbook scavenger hunt and then made passports for our trip around the world to the countries we are studying; Tunisia, Peru, Ukraine, and India.
We had a movement break for 15 mins outside. Reminder to please bring appropriate clothing for the weather as it is getting really cold outside!
Tomorrow we are painting in the style of the Group of Seven. Today we chose which painting we want to do.
We finished our day with a Calm Meditation.
Have a great afternoon,
Ms. Russell
P.S If you haven't paid the fees for swimming or skiing yet please contact the office and they can assist you (403-777-8530).

Hello Everyone,
**Reminder if you have not paid the fees for swimming or skiing that you need to contact the office and do so thank you.
This morning students rotated through Daily 5 stations. They did word work, listening to reading, worked on writing, and worked on their typing skills.
Please ask your child what they did in music today.
In math we continued working on multiplication using skip counting.
This afternoon Ms. Russell read some of "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH."
In gym we played "running chaser" and did our circuit stations.
Today we had social studies and we talked about the countries we are going to be studying. We are learning about Peru, India, Tunisia, and the Ukraine. We found where these countries are located on a map of the world and looked at the differences in population. We also started using the textbook to learn more and complete a scavenger hunt.
In french we are now talking about weather, and reviewing colours and months of the year.
Have a great afternoon,
Ms. Russell

Good Afternoon,**Reminder to please bring back swim forms ASAP.
This morning we had music, please ask me what I did.
We worked on our "Word of 2019" and made booklets talking about why we chose the word, and our action steps to achieve it.
We worked on "Haysboro Typing Club" today and assigned work on "Mathletics."
Ms. Russell read us the story, "Giraffe Problems" about a Giraffe named Edward who didn't like his long neck. It was funny and cute!
In gym we played a new version of "running chaser" and did our circuit training.
In science today we learned about sedimentary rocks and how they are formed. Please ask me about this.
Have a great afternoon,

Good Afternoon,
**Grade 3 Swim Forms came home today. Please fill them out and return ASAP.
This morning we did some word work again. We used our spelling words to build silly sentences, pick out consonants and vowels, hidden words picture, and definition detective.
Ms. Russell read us the story, "Squirrel's New Year's Resolution" and then we talked about what a resolution is. After we brainstormed a list of words that spoke to us to choose one to be our "Word of 2019!" Tomorrow we will do more with this.
In gym we have started circuit training. We spend 1 minute at each station learning how to properly do different exercises.
In math we did a problem of the day and continued looking at the doubling strategy with multiplication. Did you know that if you know that 2x7=14 then 4x7 is just double 14 which is 28.
In science today we started making a "Rock and Mineral" lap book. We also read a short story about Igneous rocks.
For art Ms. Russell has introduced us to "The Group of Seven." A group of Canadian artists who were formed in 1920 and loved painting Canadian landscapes. We are going to learn all about their different styles and how to paint like them!
Have a great afternoon,
Ms. Russell
P.S We are in desperate need of more volunteers and male volunteers for Grade 3 swimming! Please see below for more information:
