Picasso is famous for his cubism-style art where the shapes within his artwork are quite geometric. Students created their own Picasso-inspired artwork by drawing 3 different faces and played with shapes of the various parts of a face such as the eyebrows, nose, mouth, ears, and so on.
Have a look at their wonderful creations!
My favorite sport is cheer! In these pictures I win first place! Some pictures have me in the air with only one person holding me. I am not a top but I am a base and that means I hold the top person up. Both me and my sister do cheer. We just love it! I go to Royals and my sister does Sharks. Some day I want to go to Sharks. I`m hoping I get to go when my birthday passes. Royals is not that bad but I REALLY WANT TO BE A SHARK!

The Olympics is a wonderful way to bring together culture and competition in an entertaining, fun, and engaging way. It celebrates athletes who have trained for years to share their gifts. It is exciting just to be a spectator from afar!
At 6 a.m. our time, the Winter Olympics had officially begun with figure-skaters Tessa Virture from London, Ontario and Scott Moir from Ilderton, Ontario representing Canada as our flag bearers. Go Canada!
The host city this time is Pyeongchang, South Korea. In class, we used Google Earth to find this destination and check out what it looks like. We even traced the journey of where the Olympic torch started in Greece and how it arrived in Korea.
Here is a fun video we watched in class today that introduces all of the events at the Winter Olympics using their mascot, Soohorang. Have a look:
If you’re unfamiliar with Mathletics, please allow me to introduce you to this great program. As a teacher, I’ve been using Mathletics for about 5 years or so. Just recently, our school board has made the program available to all students at our schools, at no cost to families.
Mathletics is used as part of our math learning in class and is an online math program that helps us practice our math facts, reinforces math concepts, and most importantly, makes math FUN! You will have 24 hour access to Mathletics which means that you can work at your own pace; anywhere, anytime. This online math tool helps us practice computation and improves our math fluency, especially when we use LIVE Mathletics. We love competing with one another and even with students from around the globe!
If you haven’t already, it is recommended that you spend a little time looking at the program with your child so that you can gain the greatest understanding of how Mathletics will benefit his or her learning.

How do I earn certificates?
A certificate is awarded to a student once they have earned 1000 points in a single week. Only one certificate is awarded each week, to help encourage sustained study by the student. Points are awarded across Mathletics in a number of ways…
Students can also earn a coveted spot on the Mathletics Hall of Fame! Ask your child to show you the Hall of Fame at home. It’s pretty neat.
Keep working hard grade 3s!
How many ways can you make $1.00 with Canadian coins? Today we had some great discussion around Canadian currency…how colourful it is, what other forms of payment can someone use? when is cash necessary? what are the bills made of? what images are on our coins? why do we not use pennies? and much more.
Did you know that Canada has 2 mints–one in Winnipeg and one in Ottawa?

Students worked together in their teams to come up with as many ways as possible to make $1.00.
