By the way, do you see the little fish on the top of the page?  Please feed them for me when you visit.  All you have to do is click anywhere on the white space with your mouse and you will drop flakes for them.  Thanks again.

ONLINE RESOURCES



It's me again.  I wanted to make life easier for some of you by posting up some resources that may help you with your school work. If you ever need help with spelling a particular word, you can check it in a DICTIONARY.  If you would like some more information on a certain topic, then all you have to do is type it into GOOGLE.  If you want to know what the weather is going to be like so you know how to dress for school then please click on WEATHER.  So please click on the capitalized words (DICTIONARY, GOOGLE or WEATHER) to go to that webpage.  If you would like me to include more pages that will be easier for you to find, then please leave a comment and I will try my best to add it to this post.

The world is at your finger tips!!!

Thanks

STRUCTURES

Hello class and parents, do you want to know what's next on our science Agenda?  That's right, we're going to be looking at STRUCTURES.

What are some structures that we see everyday?

One example that we will be looking at into more detail are...

Bridges 

For the parents, in the grade 3 Science and Technology curriculum document on page 73, it gives an overview on understanding structures and mechanism.

CLASS...what do you think we will be doing next Tuesday?  You will be put into groups and you will be constructing your own bridge.  You will be trying your best to make a bridge that will be able to hold 6 water bottles.  Are you excited yet? I am. 


Video on Constructing Bridges

Do you want to get some ideas on how to make a strong bridge?  Please take a look at this video

Measurement


What fun topic are we going to be looking at next in Math?  We are going to be looking at measurement.  Some activities that we will be doing in class is guessing/estimating how tall you are and how tall your classmates are.  Who do you think is the tallest person in the class?  Post it as a comment and we'll find out.



We will also be looking at temperature and we will be guessing how hot/cold it is outside.  Do you remember that link that I posted earlier about the weather?  You can always click on that link to find out the temperature outside.  

Sometimes the temperature may be reported in Fahrenheit, if you want to convert it into Celsius, please click on this temperature converter. 

For the parents, in the grade 3 math curriculum document on page 57, it gives you an overview on measurement and the overall and specific expectations.  Please take a look so that you can get an idea on what are some topics that we will be looking at.
