Get outside and be active! 

Wednesday, February 3 is this year’s Winter Walk Day.  The goal is to get more Albertans physically active outdoors during the winter.  Just because it is cold outside, it does not mean we can’t be active outdoors.  Most of us already doing this; February 3 is a great time to celebrate it.  It may be as simple as walking to and from school, playing in the snow, taking a walk after dinner, going bird watching, or any of the countless activities we are fortunate to be able to do during the winter.   

Our math challenge this morning was to determine the value of the candies in the picture below:

We continued to learn about factors and made connections to fact families-- using multiplication and division. Next we moved on to explore some poetic writing. How can you paint a picture with your words. How does the reader feel? The grade 4s had french class today with Mr. Strand! They are beginning to learn greetings. We continued our afternoon with reading and then moved to the planning of our GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) Bridge Challenge. This was inspired by the Three Billy Goat Gruff!
