Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has stayed safe and warm this week with all of the snow that we got.

Despite the snowstorm, we kept busy in the classroom!






The artifacts in the images above are from the Fort Calgary Kit that we are lucky enough to get to explore in our classroom over the next week!

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd share how it works at Ken Taylor.

We will celebrate and recognize Valentine's Day on the 14th but this will be done through connections to our curricular areas such as art, math, and language arts. Students are welcome to exchange Valentine's Day cards in the afternoon if they would like to, but they are not required to. If you do decide to make cards, please ensure that each child in the class receives one to avoid hurt feelings. See the list of student and staff names for our classroom below. Due to dietary restrictions, we will not be exchanging any food but your child is welcome to bring a special snack for themselves that they can enjoy while we read a story in the afternoon. 

Students and staff in our classroom:
- Ameer
- Priscilla
- Ryker
- Deacon
- Ava
- Amarelle
- Armen
- Humzah
- Shubhangi
- Isla
- Precious
- Jace
- Jackson

Good evening! I hope everyone is doing well. To discover what we have been learning this week, ask your child all or a few of the following questions: What is sound? How do we hear? What is your favorite addition strategy? Consistent review of these strategies is very important for proficiency. See the previous blog post for the strategies that we have gone over. The goal is to become proficient with at least one strategy! What does good writing look like? This week we practiced these skills by writing about a place (imagined or real) that we would like to travel to. How can you be a problem solver? Look under the resource tabs on the blog to gain access to some of the websites that we have explored :) Updates: No school this Friday! All library books must be returned by next Friday - we will have our last book exchange before the holidays on Monday (these books too will have to be returned by Friday December 15th) - book exchange will resum...

Where did the time go?!  We had a busy week at Ken Taylor School in preparation for the holiday season but it was a success! Our class did a great job today performing their Hot Chocolate dance during the assembly which was followed by a wonderful morning filled with acts of kindness. The grade 3 team delivered thank you cards for the entire school staff, helped out with organizational tasks around the school, and distributed homemade compliment presents to one another.   We also recently tweeted out a smile on Twitter that we hope to spread to all parts of the world. You can help to spread this smile by logging onto Twitter and retweeting the tweet linked below. If you look closely at the smiley face image, you will see the faces of our grade 3 students! https://twitter.com/KenTayloryycbe/status/943176314273415168 Over the break, Razz Kids and Prodigy can be used to help keep literacy and math skills fresh!

Here's a sneak peek from the past few days... Valentine's Day! Just a quick reminder, students are welcome, but not required, to bring in valentines for their peers tomorrow but please ensure that they include everyone in the class to avoid hurt feelings. See the blog post from Friday for a class list. Students are also welcome to bring in a special snack to eat in the afternoon while we read a story. Due to allergies, we will not be sharing any food.
