Happy Solar Eclipse day!

Grade 3's are officially done their Multiplication and Division Unit test. It will go home in the next few days. Next up, geometry. They are wrapping up good copies of their Animals projects and are beginning to learn about NB.

Grade 4's are wrapping up their multiplication and division unit now. 2 digit by 1 digit division is the last new thing (3 strategies) before their review and test. They are finishing up their good copies for their country projects and beginning to learn about NB.

With last week's unexpected storm and stopping to learn a bit about the eclipse, we are little delayed in timeline. All good!

Tomorrow is SOLO speech. Good luck to all those involved! Our class performs Thursday. Dress nicely please! Choir members will also be performing.

 

Here are your reminders:

TUES - café franco, solo speech, recorders needed

WED - recorders needed

Hi folks!

A very, very short week but a busy one all the same. Is there ever a week that's not busy?!

Speaking English: Students continue to have "batons" (popsicle sticks). So you are better involved in their performance of speaking French in class, you will find a mark in their agenda at the end of the day. Grade 3 students have 5 batons while grade 4 students have 3 batons. So if you're grade 3 child has 3/5 at the end of the day, that means they were caught speaking English twice. It's okay to slip up from time to time but consistently isn't a good thing. We don't want their brains to reset into English when we are working in the French classroom. We will try to keep this going for a few weeks to help monitor the situation.

Grade 3: We are finishing up our animal research reports in both English and French (some have already completed their good copies while some have yet to complete the drafts). We will soon be starting a new unit on New Brunswick! In Math, students are wrapping up their unit on multiplication and division facts. A test will be held next week, followed by a quick revisit of addition and subtraction with regrouping. The review package will go home once the unit is mostly complete.

IXL | Division facts up to 10 | Grade 3 math

IXL | Multiplication facts up to 10 | Grade 3 math

Grade 4: We are finishing up our country research reports in both English and French (some have already completed their good copies while some have yet to complete the drafts). We will soon be starting a new unit on Canada! Next week students will be tested on the provinces, territories and capitals of Canada. In Math, students are wrapping up their unit on 2/3 digit by 1 digit multiplication and division, including division with remainders. Please help your child by reviewing the following questions and providing extra help if necessary. 62x8, 325x7, 18÷3, 45÷6, 65÷9. Answers are: 496, 2275, 6 and 7r2. A review package will go home once the unit is mostly complete. Don't mind the "grade 3 math" part. It's really grade 4 in NB!

IXL | Divide two-digit numbers with remainders using arrays | Grade 3 math

IXL | Divide two-digit numbers with remainders | Grade 3 math

Science Week: Next week is SCIENCE WEEK! Students will be participating in province-wide Science experiments, meetings etc. I'm sure they'll have lots to share!

 

Reminders for the week:

WED: Public library card (hoping to go if weather cooperates), KSE library books, recorder needed, Mango visit!

THURS: gym clothes needed

FRI: No school!

MON: No school!

TUES: Café Franco, recorder needed

WED: Grade 4 Canada province/territory/capitals test

Hi folks!

Happy fake Monday. A few updates for the week. Please note, a memo is going home today about lots of activities for next week. We are looking for a few volunteers that have their Policy 701. If you're able to join the fun, please let us know. First come, first serve. I've also posted some of the letter on our website. Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)

Grade 3 students have a subtraction test tomorrow (Wednesday). We've been practicing, but a little extra practice at home will never hurt. Next up, we will begin multiplication and continue next week. After the break will be division. In French writing we are wrapping up our magic potions and will begin our writing on a NB animal. In English we are wrapping up our animal research report.

Grade 4 students are exploring different strategies to multiply 2 or 3 digit numbers by one digit. After the break we will explore estimating with division, long multiplication and long division (buckle up!). In French writing we are wrapping up our country research project and in English too! Next up will be a research report on a country.

Both grade 3&4 have been continuing to discuss and learn about Black history month. We will finish with an English report as well as a few writing activities in French. Despite wrapping up our Black history month, we will continue to review and discuss its importance.

Hi folks!

I tried, I really tried! Here are a few more things that have popped up to go with last week's email.

Reading/words: Students still should be reading their levelled French books and English books (some have levelled, some are beyond levelled books) each night. Students also have a personalized pack of French words on a key ring to read too. Each week we will be adding new words. Please bring back to school each and every day.

Math: We will have a test early next week. "Packages" will be sent home later this week or Monday.

Lunches: Every Tuesday is Cafe Franco. Any student is welcome to attend during their regular meal time. But, meals cannot be purchased from the cafeteria if attending Cafe Franco (two locations VERY far apart).

Also, THURSDAY we will be having a pizza party. Congrats to Sandra who WON the NB Fire Chief for a Day contest! Miramichi Firefighters will be visiting us on Thursday, showing us their truck and feeding the students pizza! Thanks Sandra!

Snacks: Not sure if winter wheather makes kids hungrier or not, but many are hungry these days. An extra snack may be a good idea since my class stash is quickly being eaten.

Pictures/videos: Some pictures and videos have been uploaded to our site. Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)

All for now!

Hi folks!
Quite late in my weekly email today so I'm going to attempt to cover this week and next in one email. Wish me luck!
 
Items: Please ask your child if any replacement items are needed for them to do their work. Around this time it seems a number of pairs of scissors, headphones and colouring utensils start to disappear, break or run-out. Thank you!
 
Celebrations: I will be sending out a Valentine list for our class celebration in a few weeks. Valentine's day is on a Wednesday this year so we should be good to celebrate then in our class. We will also be celebrating Chinese New Year around February 10th.
 
Skating: Our class is heading skating on Wednesday, January 31st. Parents/adults are welcome to come skate and/or tie skates. We skate from 10-10:30am @LBA. Please let me know if you are planning to bring their skates & helmet to the rink. Those students without skates or helmets will stay at the school.
 
Science: Each week we will continue to complete a Science Experiment. When possible, I do let students bring parts of our experiments home. Safety measured are covered in class, but if you have any questions feel free to reach out!
 
Math: Grade 3 students are working on adding with regrouping and soon to be subtracting with regrouping. "Reciprocal" expressions are encouraged to be reviewed (ex. 8+7=15, 7+8=15, 15-8=7 and 15-7=8 are all connected! Below are a few links to help out, as well as on SplashLearn. Grade 4 students are working on multiplication and division. Again, reciprocal expressions are encouraged to be reviewed (ex 5x6=30, 6x5=30, 30÷6=5 and 30÷5=6 are all connected! Below are a few links to help out, as well as on SplashLearn.
GRADE 4: (Grade 3 multiplication & division sections are awesome to review! IXL | Learn grade 3 math
