Week Thirty Nine

This was our last full week of school for this year! We are still keeping it jam packed with learning and experimenting! Check out Room 7 & 8's adventures from this week:

We did our maker challenge this week in Science. We made cars that move without having to be pushed. We researched how to make either an elastic car or a balloon car. We will be testing our creations on Monday!

 

We finally finished the Hobbit! What an adventure Bilbo went on! Ask me what happened in the book!

Speaking of books... we had to start organizing our classroom library and our leveled books. It was a huge job and we want to give a big thank you to our friends who stayed in a couple recesses to help us organize!

In gym we played Lady GaGa ball again. If you didn't want to play this game you could use the hula hoops or a skipping rope.

It was the Grade 6's farewell assembly this week. We were invited and got to watch all the grade 6's cross the stage. The grade 5's also sang "See You Again" it was very touching!

Room 8 got to read outside this week and play on the playground when Room 7 was in music (don't worry Room 7 we will go outside on Monday!) :)

Even Miss Klem joined in on the fun!

In Social we learned about confederation and Alberta's French heritage. Last week on June 14 the Franco-Albertan flag became an official emblem of Alberta. Pretty cool that this happened the same year Canada turns 150!

In Math we started to learn about decimals. We even got some homework this week as extra practice. We had to add and subtract decimals. This was good practice for us to remember our strategies for addition and subtraction. We played a game called "Guess the Decimal!" where we worked with a partner and we had to draw decimals in pictures and our partner had to figure out what the decimal was.

Next week is our last week of school! We are done on Wednesday June 28. It is a half day.

Until next time,

Love,

Room 7 & 8

Week 38

We are almost finished the Hobbit (at long last!)!

We did lots of art this week. We worked on canvases with white glue and water colours and we also worked on our art work for our fairytales. We used oil pastels and baby oil to blend.

This week in math we did fractions and then had a test in fractions. Next week we will be learning about decimals.

We had two lock down practices this week. We did really well. 

In health this week the grade 4's were learning about human sexuality and in grade 3 we were learning about healthy active living and hygiene. 

In social studies we talked about National Parks, tourist attractions and researched about Dinosaurs that used to live in Alberta. We also learned about the very strict rules about finding fossils. Alberta has some of the strictest fossil rules in the entire world. The law is that if you do not report any fossils you find you can get a $50,000.00 fine and/or you could be sentenced to prison for 1 year.

There is only 7 and 1/2 days left of grade 3/4!! We can hardly believe this year is already coming to an end! It feels like its been so short! Time flies when you're having fun! We are even starting to dress alike after spending so much time together! Aren't we stylish?

In gym we got to practice bowling! It was so much fun! We also practiced golf skills. 

Check out this "good luck" wiggle:

This week we earned free choice and Miss Kolb and Miss Klem have been on the look out for respectful behaviour so that they can hand out extra tickets for the big end of the year prize draw we will be having on the last day of school! :)

Have a great weekend!

Until next time,

Love,

Room 7 & 8
