Grade 3 with Ms. Mawani

Hello Grade 3 Families, Please keep an eye out for an email from me this afternoon outlining some of the next steps for learning adventures. I will also be phoning you over the next few days to check in and respond to any questions you may have from the email.  You need to know that you are missed at school but we are really excited about what lies ahead for us, and we will be sharing details with you through this coming week.

Here's a look at some of our paper vases that we created out of paper towel rolls. Our task was to make them more stable by using found materials. Students worked in groups of 3-4 and experimented with giving their bases more weight using marbles, plasticine, cardboard and more.

Hello Families, I hope you are all keeping well! The class was buzzing just last week and now it is completely silent and it feels quite strange. It is not the same without students, but in times like this, it is a reminder that we will find ways to adapt to the challenges we are facing! You are part of a historical time and this situation is one that we don't have all the solutions for just yet, but I believe there will be some creative thinkers around the world, some would call them global citizens, who will find them...maybe you are one of them! I'm thinking of all of you and miss you a lot! If you would like some ideas or suggestions on what you can do at home, please take a look at the CBE's Learning at Home website found here . Oh, and if you can think of anything that will save Ronnie and Rosie from their boredom at home, let me know. Sincerely, Ms. Mawani  

Parent Teacher Conferences have been cancelled next week. Please keep an eye out for our Principal's blog which will have more information over the coming weeks. This week at school, we learned more about multiplication and arrays in particular. We created Array Cities to represent our understanding of equal groups. We will post our work when we are finished. We also continued learning about Global Citizenship by discussing groups that have created positive changes for girls and women. The Famous Five and Skateistan are among those that have done this important work. In Science we continue to explore shapes and experiment with making objects more stable and supportive. Students worked in small groups to create paper vases.

Our school has been participating in a Read-A-Thon. Please see the information on this school wide activity. Students are invited to dress up as their favourite book character, this Friday at school.
