Our Last Day Together

Today, we had a very busy and exciting day that consisted of outdoor activities (e.g., soccer, four square, basketball, volleyball), board games, cards, iPads, a special lunch (Thank you Parent Council!) and our year-end assembly. We had a lot of fun!

Thank you for making this a wonderful and memorable school year! I hope everyone has a safe and fun-filled summer!

Last week, our students showcased their talents at the LSPS Talent Show!

We also had the opportunity to watch cool Science experiments!

Grade 3's Trip to Upper Canada Village

Today, the Grade 3's visited Upper Canada Village. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and sunny day! We explored all the different historical buildings such as the Dressmaker's Shop, Blacksmith, Cabinetmaker, Physician's House, Lutheran's Pastor House, Bakery, and Telegraph Signal Tower. Also, we went on a wagon ride and boat ride. Another one of the highlights was all the different animals we got to see such as the horses, pigs, and calves! It was great to hear the Grade 3's using their knowledge of Pioneers to ask insightful questions to the workers as we made our way around the village. What a wonderful experience for us all!

Grade 4's Biodome Trip

Today, the Grade 4's went on their year-end trip to the Biodome and Old Montreal. They had a wonderful time! Here are some pictures of our trip. Tomorrow, the Grade 3's will visit Upper Canada Village!

End of the Year Slideshows!

The Grade 3/4 class has been hard at work creating slideshows about their favourite memories from this school year! We started by brainstorming our memories using webs. Next, we chose our three favourite memories and used jot notes to organize our ideas and the details. Then, we wrote our rough copies. Lastly, we are working on our good copies!

Last week, we worked on our slideshows using PowerPoint on the computers. They are working so hard, being very creative, and doing an amazing job. I cannot wait for everyone to share their slideshows with the class. Here are some photos of our writing process! More to come later!

Tomorrow is the Grade 3's final day for writing EQAO! They are working so hard and are really looking forward to the EQAO celebration on Friday.

The Grade 4's have been busy learning about decimals and completing their compare and contrast writing pieces. Here are some of their final copies!

 

June 9th: Here are some pictures from the EQAO celebration! The Grade 3/4 class used the iPads, coloured, watched a movie, and had some yummy snacks.

This week, we created our own tessellations. A tessellation is when you cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes that fit together perfectly (no overlaps or gaps). They are coming along beautifully.

Have a wonderful weekend! Just a reminder that the Grade 3's will be writing the EQAO next week on Monday, May 26th and Wednesday, May 28th. 

Making 3-D Figures

This week, we learned about 3-D figures. We constructed skeletons of 3-D figures using coffee sticks and plasticine and constructed prisms and pyramids from given nets. Also, we described the attributes of the prisms and pyramids that we created using a chart (e.g., number of vertices, edges, faces). They did a wonderful job and quickly filled the classroom shelves with a variety of pyramids and prisms.

What Are The Odds?

Today, we learned about Probability! We practised by playing 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' and 'Roll Em'! We had a lot of fun:) 

 

Compare and Contrast

Last week, we discussed comparing and contrasting two items. We started by comparing and contrasting soccer and basketball using a Venn Diagram. The Grade 3/4 class had SO many ideas and we quickly filled up our anchor chart. Next, we practiced! I think the class would all agree that there is no better way to practice than with chocolate.

"I am" Poems

We completed our Poetry unit with "I am" poems. The class was very thoughtful during this writing process and it was a great way for us to learn more about each other.

Battleship

In Math, we have started our Geometry unit. Currently, we are learning about grids and coordinates. To practice, we spent time playing 'Battleship'!

This morning, we practiced on Clicker 5 which is a reading and writing tool. The Grade 3/4 class learned how to build sentences, create matching games, and design books using this program.   

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Money Makes 'Cents'!

Our Grade 3/4 class has been learning about money!  We have been reading and representing money amounts and solving problems using currency manipulatives and drawings. 

Fun in the Sun!

Earlier this week, our class traded in some of the marbles they have earned for free time. We took advantage of the nice weather and headed outside!

Dig In Day!

Today, the LSPS Wolves spent some time helping our community by cleaning the streets, ditches, and schoolyard. Here are some pictures of us being responsible citizens:)
