Qui suis je...

We've been working very hard on our French writing and reading these past few weeks. We did our own "Guess Who?" by writing 10 hints about ourselves in French and then recorded ourselves using Audioboom. We then drew ourselves and created a QR code that we added to our drawing. When you scan the QR code you will hear us reading.

Terry Fox Walk

Our class participated in the 36th annual Terry Fox walk/run. Our school reached our target goal of beating last year's total of $907. We have currently collected over $920 and still counting. Thank you so much for your participation as it goes to an incredible cause.

Birds Hill Run

Today we went to participate in the Birds Hill Run. Crew 206 did an amazing job and all tried their best. Grade 3 students ran an 800m race while the grade 4 students ran 1km. We even had several top 10 finishes. It was fun and a good experience. -Ella It was awesome! -Isabelle It was fun to get to the finish line. -Easton It was fun to meet other people. -Zoey

Welcome back!

The Welcome back to a new school year. Many changes happened to our school over the summer. Crew 204 is now Crew 206 which I must admit is going to take some time for me to get used to. I'm very excited to be teaching a grade 3 & 4 combined classroom again and I look forward to meeting you in the upcoming days. I will often post some of the projects we are working on on this blog so please check it out from time to time. 

Polar Bear Claymation

This was a project that we started shortly after spring break. First we read and watched some videos about the affects of Global Warming on polar bears. We then wrote a script together as a whole group activity followed by a lot of editing and changes. Once we had a finalized our script we began to come up with ideas for scenes for our claymation (stop motion animation with clay). Students then created animals and surrounding objects using clay. We then began to take pictures (lots of pictures) slowly moving or adding to objects little bits at a time. When all the pictures were taken they were placed in Windows Movie Maker and the pictures were played in succession for 0.1 seconds. Finally students were chosen to narrate the story using Audacity to record their part.
