Google Classroom

-

 Today we logged onto laps tops! We had to have a lot of patience as we logged on and changed our passwords. We learned how to log in to our new Google classroom (grade 3/4 Beddington Heights). From now on, if your child is away, you can use their email (ask them their passwords) and go into their google classroom for class work. We will be adding new things every week. If you need help with remembering your child's email (and if they forget their passwords) please email me: lmparsons@cbe.ab.ca

Yesterday in Social Studies yesterday we learned about different landforms/landscapes. They really enjoyed learning about the Blackfoot story and Big Rock. 

We continue to practice rounding numbers in Math. Some students are working on looking at place value and rounding according to the question. 

We logged onto Mathletics and Razkids. I will send home their user names and passwords next week. 

We wrote letters to our penpals! Our penpals are a different grade 3/4 class. We will eventually be reading buddies with them through computers. If you have an extra set of headphones at home, please send them with your child. 

In Science we are learning about reusing material. We are going to construct something new out of a piece of recycling material or anything of their choice. Some examples we have already noticed people bringing in: boxes, bottles, cans. 

Today was our last day of walking for Chanie Wenjack. I am so proud of my students. They walked so well, even when they were a bit chilly! 

After our spelling test today, we wrote about friendships. What makes a great friend? What do you like to do with your friends? If you feel like you have not made many friends, how could you ask someone to play with you? They all had great ideas. 


Have a wonderful weekend.

Welcome!

Greetings Students and Parents. Welcome back to the 2020-2021 school year. My name is Lisa Craig, and I am pleased to inform you that your child will be in my class this year. Please note that due to Covid modifications this placement may be temporary as classes may need to be adjusted again once classes resume. There have been several measures taken at school to ensure the safety of students. One measure has been to create multi-aged classrooms throughout the school in order to better distribute students, creating smaller cohorts. This means that your child will be in a combined Grade 3/4 class this year. Our class will be meeting in the field along Bermuda Way, in the area closest to the compound (NE corner). Our class will enter the school at 8:00am, and will be dismissed at 2:30 in the afternoon, in order to limit the number of students using doors and stairways at the same time. When you arrive to drop your child off, or pick them up, we ask that you remain outside of the schoolya

Chanie Wenjack

 Ask your child who Chanie Wenjack is. We learned all about his story today and wrote about him in detail. We explained what happened to him and how it made us feel. We learned that this week is 'Secret Path Week." Secret Path Week is a national movement which occurs annually from Oct 17-22. The week was inspired by Chanie Wenjack, a victim of the residential school system.  Schools have an opportunity to become Legacy Schools and facilitate learning during this week and over the school year through stories of resilience and participating in the 'Walk for Wenjack', which raise awareness of the legacy of residential schools.  ​ For P.E this week we are walking everyday to raise awareness and count our steps. Our bulletin boards outside are classroom will be filled with our work around this, as well as some art and writing.  In Math today. We used to dice to build numbers in the ten thousands. We then pulled them apart for place value and used expanded form. After we wer

Fraction Codes

-
We have been continuing our learning with fractions. Yesterday they were given a 10x10 graph paper sheet. They created a picture through 8 different colours. They then wrote the fraction of each colour on the grid paper. For example, 5/100 - green. Afterwards they wrote the percentage beside the fraction. Grade 4 has started to learn about decimal points and added that as well. We had a class conversation about where we see percentages in our world? They had many great examples. Ask them what they contributed. Today they created codes with different fractions. They seemed to really enjoy this. Maybe they can show you an example at home! Yesterday and today we read Science articles about vertebrae and invertebrate animals. Afterwards they answered questions on the back.   In Language Arts we are talking about character traits. We made a classroom poster together about outer and inside traits of characters. We went around the classroom and each person had to say something about their ins
