Blog Moving to Google Classroom (effective immediately)

It was so wonderful meeting with you all for conferences these past two days :) As mentioned, we will be moving all further blog announcements/updates over to our Google Classroom. If you need help accessing it, please reach out to your child's teacher.

Thank you! :)

Wednesday Fun Day!

Note: early dismissal tomorrow (11:45am)

Thank you to everyone who logged into our Google Meets for our Virtual Classroom Tour yesterday.  If you were unable to join, the video is now posted on our Google Classroom.  

Log In Information:  Your child has brought home their login information for a variety of websites that we access at school: Raz-kids, Prodigy (math) and Xtra math.  We hope this information will be helpful, especially if your child misses some days of school.  

We look forward to Parent Teacher Conferences and talking with you about your child.  Ms. Gardner still has many parents who have not signed up.

Virtual Class Tour - Tuesday 4pm


Preparing for our Virtual Tour:

Today we started to compile some photos and videos to share with our families for our Class Virtual tour tomorrow at 4pm.  You should have received an email from your child's teacher with details about our Virtual Tour on Google Meet as well as Parent Teacher Conferences.  If you are needing any support, please do not hesitate to email your child's teacher.  It might be a good idea to practice a log into Google this evening if it has been awhile since your child has logged into their educbe account at home.

Place Value & Terry Fox

Please read the Admin Message: https://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/newbrighton/about-us/school/principal-message/default.aspx

We have been doing some fantastic work with place value in the last week - working on hundreds, tens, ones, and the value of the numbers. Here we are playing "Place Value Yahtzee" to practice working on these skills! 








We also discussed the Terry Fox Run. It's going to look different this year (surprise, surprise!) but we're working together as a Grade 3 team to "walk to Peru"! We have 7684km we're going to aim to walk collectively. Our inspiration came from this video... check it out!

Have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you next Monday!

Thursday!

 Reminder:  Don't forget to sign up for parent teacher conferences that are next Thursday and Friday!

Math - We did a Place Value check for numbers to 1000.  Check it out!!  Some of your children may also have brought it home for you to see!  You can continue to practise and "quiz" your kiddo tonight on this as well!  


Science - We read the book, What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? and added more animal adaptations to our Visual Journal page.  What other animals have adaptations that help them survive?

What a Wednesday!

Thank you to those of you who are staying home as per AHS protocols. We know it's hard to be away, but we are all working together to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible! 

Highlights from our learning today: 
  • In math we learned about the value of numbers in place value (e.g. a 4 in the 10s column means a value of 40, but a 4 in the 100s column means a value of 400!) 
  • We sorted pictures into animals, food, buildings, transportation, landscapes, and more! (Taylor)
  • For science, we used the computers to learn about animal adaptations (Natalie)
    • adaptations are what they do to protect themselves (Norah)
    • Body Coverings:
      • fish have body coverings to protect themselves in the water (Declan)
      • turtles have hard shells to protect themselves (Malcolm)
    • Behaviours:
      • rattlesnakes use their tails to warn enemies (Aiden)
      • skunks scare away their predators with a smell (Chasity)
    • Body Parts:
      • fish have gills to breathe underwater (Kiana)
      • pikas have sharp teeth to bite off plants and keep them to eat in winter (Aykut)

Reminders for this week: 
  • Please sign up for conferences if you haven't yet (click here!). 
  • library books are due (from last year) if you have a pink slip
  • Fridays are early dismissal (11:45)
