Frosty in February
February is here already! As always, we are having lots of fun in our classroom.
We are starting some team building activities to become better actors. We have learned that we really have to work together if we want to be successful!
We are still learning about structures and strength. We have been surprised at how we can make something that seems weak, stronger by altering how we build it as a structure.
Grade 4 students are still learning and independently researching Pulleys.
In the gym, we have been challenging ourselves by learning to play offensive and defensive positions. We will also begin skating soon! A permission letter was sent home with the days our class will be skating. You can also print a copy from the newsletter section of the blog.
Please join us if you can!!

Working Hard
January has been a busy month already. Students are continuing to work hard in the afternoons.
In health, we reviewed the 4 food groups and have been discussing how to use Canada's Food Guide. Grade 3 students have looked into the differences between processed and unprocessed foods, while students in grade 4 are learning about serving sizes. Did you know you can use common items such as, hockey pucks, baseballs, golf balls and erasers to help figure out how much a serving size is.
Our students in grade 3 are still working on building structures out of straw and trying to make them strong enough to hold a book. It is much more challenging than they thought it would be.
Grade 4 students have discovered how to build a pulley and how it can help move a load.
We have also started to learn about the elements of Drama. We have discussed what makes a theatre drama unique or different from TV shows or movies we usually watch.
A reminder that there is no school Monday, January 30th, as it is a PD Day.

Welcome Back!
Happy New Year! I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed some family time together. It was a cold, but wonderful day to return back to school. I was happy to welcome everyone back to school.
Today, we got right into our next science units. Grade 3 students are exploring Strong and Stable Structures and Grade 4 students are exploring Pulleys and Gears. Students had a chance to discuss and share what they know about each topic.
This week, we will also begin discussing and learning about Healthy Eating. In the gym, we will learn how to play badminton and continue with cooperative games. We will also be beginning our new drama unit in the upcoming weeks.

A Look Back at December
December was such a busy month! Here is a peak at some of the learning that happened in our classroom.Hour of Code
We were introduced to the basics of computer programming by participating in the Hour of Code. We also took on a role as leaders, by working with Mme Pat's kindergarten class to teach them how to code as well. We will be working more with her class as the year continues.
