Thursday at school

This morning we are doing a writing project in groups of two. This one is mine, do you like it?

Did you read it? There were some people who did this project all alone. Some people made two of them. I liked that a lot this was a fun project and when we were all finished our stories we presented them in front of the class. We are in math now and we're learning about a math strategy for multiplying with large numbers.

In this photo Mme is showing us how this math strategy works and she's has an example on the white board.

These are some of the multiplication equations we are working on 64x46 36x44, 52x19, 62x22. 

Now it's gym and we are playing yoshi. Our gym teacher is explaining the game to us .

These are some of my classmates in gym.

   Now we are in art  this is my favourite class. During the class we do art every day it's really fun we made tones of art we even do it in science and in music. Our class loves art. In this art project were drawing flowers.Mine is not finished yet but it's good. Remember there's no mistakes in art. I'm almost done, here take a look.

Judy Blume : Tales of a fourth grade nothing

In class we are reading Judy Blume - Tales of a fourth grade nothing. Peter and Fudge's dad is making a commercial for Juicy-O. So, Mme. Said that our project in English is to make our very own Juicy-O commercial. She placed us in groups of 3 or 4 students and we had to plan it out and film it using the classroom I-pads. The students will also be I charge of evaluating each others commercials.

Immunization

On Thursday, we got two needles. We had to sit in the hallway to wait for our immunization. We got the needles in the science lab. There were 3 nurses giving the needles. After we got our needles, we want to the art room and ate cookies and drank apple juice. It stung for a while but we survived.

Stomp

In music class we are doing a video in groups of 4-5 people. The goal is to make music with different objects without using instruments. Once it's filmed we will all have a chance to watch the videos.

I Pads

The I Pads are here! In class we have 7 I Pad minis. We use the I Pads for projects like concours d'art oratoire and the Juicy-O commercials. The I Pads help us to translate words. We can research different things or subjects. We are using the app. I Movie to make commercials. We are enjoying using them and are excited to explore and use the other apps.

Ace Burpee

Yesterday, Ace Burpee a radio announcer for 103.1 Virgin radio came to our school for I love to read month. He read a wolf book and a Paul and Suzanne book. They were both funny. He told us a little bit about himself and we had a blast!

Rocks and minerals & Manitoba

In sciences we are studying rocks and minerals. We've been looking at different rocks and minerals and reading books about them. Students from the class have been bringing different rocks and minerals to school to show the whole class and talk about them and tell us about what typeof rock it is.

 Mosaic mural

Dimitri the mosaic artist is working with the school to make 3 different mosaic murals. A mosaic is an art piece of cut up tiles. The first mosaic is an E.R.B sign with 50 hearts to celebrate the school's 50th anniversary. The second one is the Nothern lights in the shape of a maple leaf to represent Canada and community. The third one is a sign in front of the school that says École.

December activities

November 18th- 22nd

Multiple intelligence 

At the start of the year we did a survey to find out our M.I. We had to answer different questions to find out what type of learner or intelligence we had.

We then made a classroom brain out of plasticine. Each student was given some plasticine to roll out and shape into one classroom brain. After the brain was complete, we wrote down our M.I. on a little tag to to stick it in the brain. We can use the brain to find out which students to go to for help. This creates a classroom community, where we can use the strengths of others for support. 

Science project 

In science we are learning about habitats and communities of all living things.

This week we did a poster on Canadian animals. Each student was randomly given a Canadian animal. They then had to make a poster about the animal by following criteria given. Before we started the poster we had to make a plan. They are on display in the classroom.

Art fauvism

We started an art project! We studied the art style that began in France in 1898 known as Fauvism. This style uses pure colours and strong brushstrokes. Together, the brushstrokes and colours evoke strong sensations and emotions to viewers.

We used markers to do this project. We worked with colours like red, orange,green, yellow and blue. We also traced our outlines in black.

We choose a landscape portrait and created an art piece based on the fauvism style.

Math centres

We did math centres this week. There were 9 different centres in the class. We spent 10min. at each centre. The math centres were a lot of fun!

Tuesday November 12th, 2013

At the start of the month, we changed desks and came up with new group names. The names are Koala, Requin, Jaguar, Pingouin. 

In Social Studies, we started studying the world's continents and it's oceans. We did a test, and we all did really well. 

Halloween

We wrote Halloween stories in French and recompiled them on Halloween stationary.

We also had our Halloween party. We got to wear our costumes. We had a lot of food to eat. We played lots of games and had lots of fun.

In E.L.A. We wrote Halloween Haiku poems.

Poetry

We have just finished two types of poems. We did a Halloween Haiku and wrote a cinquain poem. Next, we will be writing limericks.

Blocks de francais

We started a French speaking system in class. We have to speak in French in class or else we loose a block. The goal is to try an keep you ten blocks for the whole entire day. At the end of the day Mme. Writes how many block we have left on a chart paper. Each day we start new with our ten block. The system is working really well. We are learning to speak in French really well. 

T.I.A

This term our T.I.A. Artist was Tibert le Voyageur. He showed us a lot of stuff about the voyageurs. We look ad objects, tools and clothing that the voyageurs used. We played games, sang songs and also learned about the fur trade. We had a great time learning about the voyageurs.

Math

We started exlporing place value in Math. In French the place values are called, unites, dizaines, centaines, milliers. Unite is a one digit number. Dizaines are a two digit number. Centaines are a three digit number and milliers are a four digit number. 

Remembrance Day Assembly

We sang two songs for the Remembrance Day assembly. We also made a video with the grade 3 in Mme. Boychuck's class. The video was based on the book What does peace feel like. We all wrote and drew a picture about what does peace feel like for us.
