Grade 4 class at Prescott Learning Centre.

What a wonderful morning with Teacher’s Pet! We learned about indigenous celebrations, the Métis, Fur Trade, and petroglyphs/pictographs. The students even made mini teepees that tell a story!

Grade 4 Social Studies debate topic from 2 perspectives: Should the oil sands continue to be developed OR stopped immediately? Amazing insight and critical thinking skills #grade4socialstudies #prescottpsd

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Challenging our bodies and learning new gymnastics techniques. Balance and strength are super important for us! #aerialsgymnastics

Cinnamon buns! Mmmm. We learned that yeast is a living organism that thrives on sugar and helps the dough rise #prescottpsd70

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Working on place value!

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Today we learned about the simple machine known as the wheel and axle. It helps us reduce the force of friction quite efficiently! We noticed that it’s important to distribute the weight of the load evenly, to align the wheels, and reduce friction between the parts of a vehicle.

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

One cut geometry! The students had the “impossible” task of cutting shapes out in one single, straight cut! Our Math brains sure grew today as we remembered that it’s okay to make mistakes on our journey. #prescottpsd70

Our Grade 3 Global Luncheon potluck was a huge success! We loved learning about the traditional foods from our diverse families and enjoying a plate (or two) at “Chateau Prescott”. Thanks to all of our volunteers who helped! #Prescottpsd70 #gr3socialstudies

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

The 3A chicks are cute as ever! We have noticed they are awfully sleepy and like to play around by pecking at each other. Students were surprised how bony and light they were, “which probably helps birds fly” #gr3animallifecycles

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

O is for outdoor reading! What a gorgeous day to enjoy the outdoors. #prescottpsd70 #abccountdown

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

We had a fun-filled day of discovery at Jubilee Park today! We investigated the pond life and classified each specimen based on unique characteristics. #Prescottpsd70 #gr3animallifecycles

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

G is for Games and H is for Hats! Some students even created their own board games to play! #abccountdown #Prescottpsd70

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Well, 3A butterflies...it’s been a slice! The Grade 3s certainly had a blast releasing them today! May they live long (ish) and prosper 🖖 #gr3animallifecycles #prescottpsd70

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Cross stitching with wool decorates traditional Ukrainian clothing. This one girl’s outfit is 4 separate layers! The men have a really long belt that wrap around the waist several times. #gr3social

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Parasitic bugs swell up the plant and other bugs will invade the parasitic bugs before they eat their way out and try to take their space! #wagnernaturalarea

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Paper birch was used as paper for the indigenous groups. We found jelly-like frog eggs and mosquito larvae! #wagnernaturalarea

[Mr. Cote @mrcoteclass]

Sea turtles have a backbone and are called vertebrates. They breathe using lungs and have to breathe fresh air. They can hold their breath for a couple hours!

Sea Turtle shells are made out of keratin, the same thing our nails are made of! They can lay up to 10 nests and 100 eggs in each for a season. #motemarinelaboratory
