  February 27, 2026 The Grade ¾ students did fantastic leading the Pink Shirt Day Celebration of Learning. Students stepped into a number of roles as they ran the assembly, including tech assistants, emcees, musicians, poets, and more. As a school, we are so proud of them! We also had the opportunity to try out snowshoeing this week and will hopefully get out there a few more times to enjoy the fresh snow.  Learning Intentions: Grade 3: I can describe how natural events change Earth’s surface. Grade 4: I can analyze the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems.  We began studying Earth Systems for a new science unit. We are excited to learn the different ways we are supported by and connected to the earth’s systems. Grade 4s are diving into the earth’s spheres and grade 3s will be starting an inquiry project about natural events. As we make our way through these investigations, we find and explore connections to the Social Studies curriculum and how we live and learn tog...

  Hello Room 2 families, We had a wonderful two short weeks, cheering on Canada during the Olympics, working on our Polygon Art project, and researching historical figures for Black History Month. Learning Intentions: Grade 3: I can describe the geometric properties of regular and irregular polygons. I can sort polygons according to geometric properties and describe the sorting rule. I can classify polygons as regular or irregular, using geometric properties. Grade 4: I can investigate geometric properties. I can identify relationships between the sides of a polygon, including parallel, equal length, or perpendicular, by measuring. I can identify relationships between angles at vertices of a polygon, including equal, supplementary, and complementary, by measuring. Last week, we were able to get outside and measure angles that we found in nature. We also began an art project to demonstrate our understanding of polygons, lines, and angles. This week, we continued our Polygon Art proj...

  February 6, 2026 This was a busy week, filled with geometry, planting, art with our buddies, and a lot of growth in our volleyball skills! Learning Intentions: Grade 3: I can describe the geometric properties of regular and irregular polygons. I can sort polygons according to geometric properties and describe the sorting rule. I can classify polygons as regular or irregular, using geometric properties. Grade 4: I can investigate geometric properties. I can identify relationships between the sides of a polygon, including parallel, equal length, or perpendicular, by measuring. I can identify relationships between angles at vertices of a polygon, including equal, supplementary, and complementary, by measuring. We have learned about geometric properties, angles, shapes, and have encountered a lot of new math vocabulary. We have learned about the different types of angles, lines, and the ways they can come together to form polygons. Grade 4s dusted off the protractors and measured ang...
