Room 5 & 6 parents- the grade 3/4’s are inviting you to our Celebration of Learning this Thursday (December 12, 2019) in the afternoon, open-house style from 1:15-2:45! We are very excited to share our learning journey with you! @GWSLock #GWSCONNECTS

Just finished our class read aloud! We had so many good discussions about virtues, character traits and came up with our own class precepts! “When having the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”- Dr Wayne W. Dyer

Peer conferencing, self assessing, and next steps, help us to become stronger writers @GWSDavis

No matter the language, we can all do our best to spread peace and kindness. #LestWeForget @GWSDavis

Patience and Perseverance were demonstrated today as S’s made friendship bracelets today 🧵 @GWSLock thank you for the extra help @GWSHogan #GWSConnects

We added personifications to our nature boards this week. Personifications add detail to our writing. Jenna said, “The green leaf danced beautifully.” @GWSLock @GWSConnects

Found our sit spots today... Peace. Calm. Happy. Connected. Cold.... “I heard the sound of birds chirping, it was beautiful and made me feel so calm.” #GWSconnects @GWSLock

‘Nature invites us to be readers and writers.’ We used adjectives to describe the items on our document boards... #gwsconnects @GWSLock @GWSKalanchey

Great Work @Guy_Weadick this year we raised $605 for the Terry Fox Foundation! @GWSBelcher @GWSPlaza @GWSLock @Educ8trKim

@DHSRiebot @GWSDavis That’s a great way to get perspectives from all grades!

Questioning and making observations about Math in nature! ‘Where does the math live?’#GWSConnects @GWSLock

Ss spent time today looking for and examining rocks. We wondered: “What is a rock?” “Where do they come from?” @GWSDavis @GWSKalanchey

Together we built our writing success rubric with student exemplars during our WOW writing time! @GWSLock @GWSKalanchey #GWSConnects

S: “It looks like roots spreading through the ground” How can we help one another grow this year? #GWSconnects @GWSDavis

@tchrfriesen @GWSDavis something like this to hang from our ceiling!?

After our work with YET, learners wrote personal goals for the semester/year on a ribbon. At Back to School Night, parents write goals/wishes for their child. Both hang with pride at the entry to class. They will regularly be revisited. #pypchat #InquiryMindset #TK_CIS

With this nicer weather, we have been taking our learning outside as much as possible!

Had fun passing on our knowledge of Indigenous Games to our grade 1/2 buddies. @GWSHill

The grade 3/4s loved learning drawing techniques from graphic artists today. Thanks for organizing, Ms. James!

This grade three student was so kind to bring in some Sweet Grass to show our class and explain how her family uses it for smudging.

The natural playground was definitely a highlight for students #getoutside

Beautiful day exploring and becoming super botanists at Ralph Klein Park @GWSDavis @GWSblakley
