Rocks and Minerals

In science we are learning about Rocks and Minerals!! In our classroom we have a poster with 66 pictures of rocks and minerals and their names. They are all different colors and sizes and shapes . They are so beautiful! We are excited to learn more about rocks and minerals. Our class has our own rock exhibit where we can bring rocks and look at them with a magnifying glass during class.

Genius Hour

We are researching whatever we want during Genius Hour. We can use a laptop, or a iPad or a computer to research our questions we may have. Some of us want to research how to do a back flip on a trampoline, how a clock knows when to move its hour and minute hands, and how games are made!!

Getting Ready for Parent Teacher Interviews.

We have been making our portfolios this week to get ready for parent-teacher interviews. We take out something from each of our duo-tangs and we show them to our parents because we are proud of our work, We filled out a self evaluation and wrote a letter to our parents too. It makes us feel excited to be able to show our parents what we do at school.

A Snowy Week

Last week we had lots of snow! We even got to have a snow day! There were not a lot of students at school that day so we got did reading and Mathletics in the morning. In the afternoon we got to chose to watch Evan Almighty or The Secret Life of Pets. We also got to have an extra gym class with the other grade 3/4 students.

Valentine's Day Party

We had a Valentines' Day party in the afternoon. We put all the tables together and said one kind thing about each person. We had really good snacks like cheese, cucumber's, crackers, and delicious grapes. We also had cookies and delicious cupcakes. We played games like minute to win it and other Valentine's Day games. There were games like snow ball toss and a puzzle  We had so much fun playing stack the cups. We had 24 red cups with one yellow cup on top. The challenge was to stack the red cups until the yellow cup was back on top. We also played freeze dance. We decorated paper bags with shiny heart and lip stickers. The stickers were really shiny. We put our Valentine's Day cards in our bags.

We Love to Read

In are class we are doing a pick your read emoji. It is where you read a book and you can pick your emoji. You can pick you really love it, you love it, you like it, its Okay, or don't like it. You have to write the tittle of the book and put it on the poster. The emojis are for telling the other people in our class what books are good to read.

We Are Ninjas

Ninja math is where we have to master four double sided pages of multiplication facts. If you get more then five mistakes then you have to do the whole paper over again. Everyone starts at white belt and tries to get to black belt. We practice multiplication using white boards, our multiplication belts, and playing games on Mathletics.
