  Matteo, we wish you all the best and we would like to thank you for the great cupcakes  !  

Dear Parents,

We have just finished the unit: Addition and Subtraction

Students applied mental mathematics strategies and number properties for:

                                1/2/3-digit additions

                                1/2/3 subtractions

Students used their personal strategies to add and subtract with answers to 1000.

We have been practicing these equations having as support Manipulatives, Number Charts to 1000 and the new Math Chart the students keep in their agendas.

The students also wrote story problems that required Addition/ Subtractions.

They traded their problems with classmates and compared/checked their work.

We are going to test our knowledge this week writing a Math test.

                

                                Science Presentation

We had a guest in our class, Mr. Spence, Sabine's father, who is an architect.

 He talked about his work, sharing with us his passion for this job. He also brought some new houses designs. The students asked him many questions who helped them in designing the next Science Project:” Building Houses”.

We would like to thank Mr. Spence for his awesome presentation!

Merci,

The Grade 3 Team         

                                                 

                               Happy Birthday, Rowan!

                                Joyeux anniversaire!

The Grade 3 Team would like to thank you for the great treat you brought us on this important day of your life! We all wish you the best!

                                      

                         New Year’s Resolutions

The first English project of this year was: “New Year’s Resolutions.

We brainstormed the topic and I wrote down on the board the students’ ideas on this matter. I invited the students to develop in writing one or two resolutions they chose for this New Year. They were also supposed to write what steps they would need to take in order to fulfill their goals.

We displayed the students work on our Billboard and you, as parents are invited to have a look at our assignment.

     

     Building With a Variety of Materials / Workshop

The Grade 3 students attended a Science workshop presented by Mr. Colin Murch, an engineer from Alberta Science Network.

The students designed and built different structures by using a variety of materials and techniques. First, they selected appropriate materials for use in construction tasks. They demonstrated familiarity with the big variety of materials used. They selected the right tools suitable to particular tasks and various connectors that add strengths to their structures. In the end they presented their structures to the class.

It was a, learning, creative and fun experience that we all enjoyed. 

 

 

The Grade 3 students enjoyed having Mr.Harries, our Principal among us taking a picture for our Blog.
It was the Science Unit " Building with a Variety of Materials"
The students built Christopher Columbus' Fleet that crossed the Atlantic Ocean in search of the New World.

                                     Math  Sites

Today, the Grade 3 students got familiar with the new Math sites by practicing individually or with a partner 2/3  addition facts in problem-solving context.

It was a fun learning activity that the students enjoyed.

              

                           Happy Birthday, Kaitlyn !

                                          Joyeux anniversaire !

                                 

The Grade 3 Team wishes you the best and thank you for the lovely treat!

                         
                                  

                                The Christmas Cards

The Grade 3 students  created beautiful  Christmas cards for their parents.The students worked so hard to show their  appreciation for their parents' love.
The Grade 3 Team would like to thank once again Mme St Pierre her support and for taking her time in creating  the awesome gifts for the parents.

We do appreciate a lot Mme St Pierre your artistic skills that you shared with us!
Merci beaucoup,
      The Grade 3 Team

                               New Math Sites

The. Grade 3 students have been developing number sense.

 We have been learning strategies for basic/more developed addition and subtraction facts.

Students learn to describe and apply mental mathematics strategies for adding 1/2 and 3 digit numbers and for subtracting 1/ 2 and 3 digit numbers to 1000.

We have been practicing the following sites and the students could continue working /practicing addition/subtraction facts in problem-solving context, at home:
