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!

Please check your child's bookbag this weekend. I've given them a "Mid-Term" report so you can see how they are doing in class. It is NOT a Report Card. Just a little snapshot/glimpse. All for now! Enjoy the weekend.

Hi folks!

It was a busy, fun-filled week! I've updated some pictures on our site. This will be perfect for the students to look at when they're missing school over the break! Special thank you to everyone for being so great at sending in necessary items and to our volunteers!!

Students will head back to KSE on Monday, March 11th. Mme Young will be back with us then too!! Like every Monday, gym clothes will be needed.

All for now! Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)

Hi folks!

Thank you!
