Coulee
"At the coulee we walked over to a place where the land art artist was waiting. We made land art and it was really fun." Hailey

"After we made land art, we had to deconstruct it and put everything back." Taylor

"Before we went to the coulee we cut out some fabric for some materials along with the natural materials in the coulee." Calvin




Math
"We went into groups and we picked four numbers and we had to add and subtract the numbers and see what the answer was." Allison

"We tried to find out what was wrong on the addition tables. There were things like they didn't equal the right number. We also had to try to find out patterns in another one." Isla




Art
"We were creating a 3D piece for Christmas and today we were starting to make 3D shapes so we could try to make out Christmas scenes." Charlie

"We could either make Christmas scene or a winter scene. After we made our scene we did our last little touches and then we had these papers with cubes, triangular prisms, pyramids and cones. Then we have to cut them out and fold them to make a background, like a miniature winter scene or Christmas." Maiara




Country and Provinces - Resources
"We are making new countries or provinces and we are looking at the natural resources. We talked about how you have cities near where natural resources are." Aria

"We were making our own countries with our partners. They couldn't be fantasy. We wrote about some resources and put them in our countries." Isaac

"The cities have to be near the resources. The landforms where the resources are have to be realistic, like you wouldn't have mining at a beach." Sam 





Writing
"We made a story and we did questions that we couldn't answer. We tried to answer them for the story." Catherine

"We made a story and then we kind of paused for a bit. Then we asked some questions about the story. Then we had to go back and answer them." Gabrielle

IMPORTANT DATES September 29 - Orange Shirt Day   September 30 - National Truth and Reconciliation Day, no school Terry Fox Run This week we had our annual Terry Fox Run. Students spent some time in the day learning about Terry and his legacy. We watched a great video made by some of our grade 3/4 students. After the run we got some snacks provided by the Parent Council - thank you! Math This week in math we continued to work with place value. We explored the thousandths and ten thousandth place and practiced representing numbers using Base Ten blocks. We also explored some number patterns through low floor high ceiling problems. Students looked at addition and subtraction patterns with odd and even numbers and practiced addition playing "Race to 100". Mapping We finished our maps of the school after reviewing our first and second drafts and comparing them to a master map. Students will be building on their mapping skills in the next few weeks by looking at different types of...

And if we couldn't we find it we could whistle for a bird or tap our pencils on a tree." Allison "We drew a map of the coulee. We used symbols from the map we made earlier in school" Micah "At the beginning of going we drew pictures of a plant or tree or landscape and then we also wrote what we saw, what we heard, what we smelled and what we felt." Calvin Math "In patterns we were looking for patterns in math and we had groups and to be honest some of it was actually really fun." Hailey ...

  Important Dates November 1-10 - Veteran's Food Drive November 11, 12 - No school for students November 16 - Photo Retake Day Writing This week we worked on making basic sentences and paragraphs more exciting by adding specific nouns, vivid verbs, adjectives and adverbs. We also learned that you can take one basic sentence or paragraph and make it creepy or happy just by choosing different descriptive language to add to the words. Math This week, we connected what we learned about using tables and charts to find patterns to understanding how to represent data. We started looking at pictographs and how to create them from charts and tables. Students explored what makes a good survey question for collecting data for a graph. Science This week we wrapped up our hearing and light topics by designing and building light and sound devices to meet certain criteria. Grade 3s worked to created sound devices that needed to change volume and pitch and had a good sound quality. Grade 4s create...
