Time Travelling!

Thanks to all the students and teachers who participated in Throwback Thursday for Terry. It really was tons of fun.The eighties were very well represented in the 3W class. Mrs. Black pulled out her New Kids on the Block t-shirt, Mlle Luna looked very sophisticated in her 1950's getup, Mme Mathieu sparkled like a 1920's flapper and Mme Kristina rocked the 80's leather!



Tomorrow is our Terry Fox Run! Remember to wear some zany Sox for Fox!

Basketball Fun!

The Students vs. Teachers Basketball Games were lots of fun this afternoon! Davio and Cameron both got a chance to play for our class and their dribbling and basket shooting skills were very impressive! I was too busy playing to snap a picture of them!

Chromebook Friday!

The students were thrilled today when they were able to log onto the Chromebooks for the first time this year. Many of them checked out the new Math-based game called Zorbit's Math Adventures. Their reviews were very positive! Once the agendas arrive, the students' login information will be posted inside the front cover. Until then, usernames and passwords can be found in their Blue Homework Resource Folders that went home with the students today (and parents last night)!



Rounding to the Nearest Tens BUMP Game!

The students enjoyed playing a BUMP game this morning during Math. The game provided a fun opportunity for them to practise their rounding skills!

All About Me!

The students worked hard on their "All About Me" pieces today. Each student had to brainstorm a minimum of twenty words of people, animals and activities that make them happy. Using watercolours as a backdrop, the students then wrote their special words around their photos. Their colourful creations will adorn our classroom walls for the school year!

Place Value Robots

This week we have been exploring place value during math. Yesterday, the students used their knowledge of place value to build robots. The students were given a number in the hundreds that they had to represent using base ten blocks. Once they successfully represented the number, they had to show the same number a different way (for example, switch a 1 hundred block for 10 tens). Once they successfully met this challenge, they had to build a robot with these blocks. They really enjoyed this process and their imaginations ran wild!

This group's robot wore jewelry and had a dog!

Dancing into 3W!


These dancing giraffes capture the enthusiasm, creativity and energy of this year's 3W class! The giraffes were inspired by the book Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. This book generated some wonderful class discussions about the power of the word yet, how mistakes can help us grow, and how we all learn in different ways. 3W is embracing a Growth Mindset!
