@HolySpiritOCSB They made great connections today! To forces too. We may or may not have also started the chant “stable structures!” while we ‘glued’ the boulders together with packing snow 😂
This is truly what snow days are all about!! So much communication, collaboration and teamwork went in to building this monster of a snow fort with our grade 3 friends @JuneauGr3 and Ms. Jessamine @HolySpiritOCSB#OCSBsnowday
Today is a #SnowDay. The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA) has cancelled all buses & vans. All #ocsb schools remain open. Parents who send their children to school will be responsible for transportation to and from school.
Last weeks flashback!
1. An accident uprooted our avocado so we learned about its root system 😂
2. Silly poses with avocados that started sprouting
3. Collaborative games with @mskayleewelch and
4. Learning about Google read & write by building snowmen with @MrsDorsey_ocsb !
A new way to make partners for math! Students had to pull a 3 digit number and a cube from a bag and matching colours determined pairings. Then students combined their number and their ideas to write a word problem. S’s then rotated to solve another group’s question.
Lots of growth today! It was a challenging #STEM task and the 3’s collaborated and communicated beautifully! Students had to apply what they learned about trusses and triangles to build a stable structure and test it with a load (of Geronimo Stilton books) 😂💪🏼👏🏼
Learning about synonyms and exploring “shades of feelings” in todays language/SEL class. These will go up in our Calm Corner, where we go when we need to regulate. #SEL#letstalkaboutit#kidshealthmatters
#TakeMeOutsideDay science challenge! Build a stable structure from found materials in the forest. Must say the innovation and creativity was on point 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We’ve been learning how to bump up our writing by adding detail and adjectives. To help them understand the power of writing, students listened to a poem called “The Big Big Sea” and then drew what they saw in their minds.
Representing numbers and practicing showing our thinking in an organized way. Students worked in flexible groupings to complete the task. Then in whole group, students took turns to explain their work and the class offered positive feedback. Awesome work today 3’s!
