Last week we continued working on our final Hearing and Sound projects. Most students have completed their research and have a rough draft answer to most questions. This week students will work on editing their writing to ensure they are producing clear and detailed paragraphs that share their understanding. This week students will also begin working on the presentation portion of the projects. In Grade 3 a successful paragraph would include: Last week’s math focused on problem solving. Students were challenged to solve a problem entitled, “All Aboard”.

Room 15 has had two sessions with Ms. Leah. During our first session we learned about the tools and techniques we will be using while felting. During our second session we had the opportunity to begin working on different aspects of the mural using a variety of felting techniques. During Exploration Time we have planted our first round of seeds so that we may grow healthy food in our classroom. Students have been engaged in robotics challenges and marble runs have been very popular. On Monday we attended our second National Geographic Presentation at Jack Singer Hall. Our class was inspired to spend more time in nature observing the beauty of animals. A Wild Life with photographer Bertie Gregory Whether camping with coastal wolves on Vancouver’s western beaches, pursuing peregrine falcons in London, or filming leopards in the streets of Mumbai, Bertie Gregory captures the essence of what it means to coexist peacefully—with respect and humor—alongside the magnificent creatures of the natural world. Host of National Geographic’s Wild Life, as well as the winner of the 2015 Scientific Exploration Society Zenith Explorer award and 2012 Youth Outdoor Photographer of the Year prize, Gregory is a passionate advocate for the natural world. Join Gregory as he takes us into the lives of the animals in our own backyard, in hopes of inspiring us to protect them. Friendly reminder that Tuesday we have a field study to Glenbow museum. Thank you to all of the parents who have already volunteered to joins us. Don't forget to sign up for Parent Conferences. The online timetable is now open!
