Today I introduced the class to the new @GoogleNose extension - you can smell things on the screen. The students asked to smell bubble gum, so we searched and then got close to the screen to sniff…and…GOTCHA! #aprilfools #OldieButGoodie

[Grade 3/4 Class AMPS @ClassCommons]

Had fun learning about structures and getting to build strong and stable bridges to support a given load. @Sci_in_School #science

[Grade 3/4 Class AMPS @ClassCommons]

Continuing to explore multiplication and division in a hands-on way, using shapes we made with matchsticks.

[Grade 3/4 Class AMPS @ClassCommons]

Today, the grade 4’s had a great afternoon filled with hands-on learning with @Sci_in_School - We learned a about gears, pulleys and other simple machines.

Took some time today to talk about how we cope when we feel stressed, angry, sad, overwhelmed or just “blah”. We each narrowed down a list for ourselves and made cootie catchers to remind us of our personal strategies/tools that help keep us calm and focused.

The creativity in my class is impressive! Here are some “think outside the box Thursday” creations. #proudteacher

Built some “neighbourhoods” using 3D shapes. Good discussion and sharing about why we used the shapes we did, as we explore their geometric properties.
