Good Afternoon,
**Reminder tomorrow is Fun Snack!
This morning students had music.
Then we did Daily 5 and worked on spelling, word work, writing, and epic books.
In math the grade 3's practiced their multiplication and the grade 4's worked on division strategies.
Today we read more of "Parvana's Journey" and did a reading response after. Parvana found a baby in an abandoned village and now her and the baby have found a 9 year old boy in a cave.
In gym we played "junk yard" and Ringette.
We finished our Chinese Dragon in art today.
We had our last station for social studies to learn about India, Peru, Ukraine, and Tunisia from the Fort Calgary kit.
In science we are finishing up our unit on rocks and minerals.
Have a great afternoon,
Ms. Russell

Hello Everyone,
Today we had our writing groups. In my group we talked about some literary terms such as: Metaphor, Simile, Alliteration, and Onomatopoeia. I read a couple of books that showcase examples of these terms. For example, "Owl Moon," "Oh, The Places You'll Go," and "Click, Clack, Moo."
After we talked about the definitions and more examples students could use in their writing.
In gym we played "line tag" and "4-corner soccer."
In math the grade 3's continue to practice their multiplication facts and the grade 4's are now moving on to division.
We finished the book, "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." Please ask me what happened.
In social studies we did our stations and started drawing a Chinese Dragon to celebrate "Chinese New Year" yesterday! We also talked about what year we were born in and what that meant about our personalities.
In science we talked about the 4 layers that make up our Earth. We had a great discussion about the crust, mantle, and inner and outer core. Please ask me about it.
Have a great afternoon,
Ms. Russell

Good Afternoon,
This morning we got new words to practice. We did word work, and wrote about the chapter Ms. Russell read from "Parvana's Journey." (The sequel to "The Breadwinner")
In music we played our recorders and some people got their white and yellow belts. - William
We did French. We learned about school supplies and practiced our numbers 1-20, days of the week, and colours. - Selina
In gym we played "rock, paper, scissors" tag and did Ringette games. - William
Grade 4's did a survey in math and the grade 3's worked on multiplication facts with Ms. Kelly. - William
We did stations in social studies and talked about the different artefacts. - Owen
In "The Rats of NIMH" the rats are planning on disguising their hole to make it look like regular rats lived there. 10 rats also have to stay behind to distract the scientists from finding the other rats and the rest will move to Thorn Valley. - Asyah
Have a great afternoon,
