Well done Division 8 Grade 3s! We’ve been recognized by two teachers for your responsibility & hard work.
Mrs. Dodd & the Green Team recognized us on their Recycling Superstars board for recycling efforts in our classroom.
Mrs. Roberts recognized our class for returning all our books. We’ve been added to Igor’s Pillar of Fame & I look forward to our next extra recess when all books are returned! Keep up the good work!

Mrs. Lentz has passed the torch ~ after 22 years of visiting St. Michaels with her Grade 1 class, Mrs. Lentz retired last year and handed down the honour to Divisions 12 & 8. Thursday was our 1st visit of the year, although many grade 3 students in Division 8 were students in Mrs. Lentz’s class 2 years ago. They proved to be incredible leaders while interacting with the seniors at St. Michaels & the grade 1s proved to be just as gracious & friendly with the audience.
Miss Gatenby & I are very, very proud!!

We are currently learning about continents & other map skills in class. Among them, we are learning how to locate our province, our country & other countries on maps & globes. The character Flat Stanley has inspired our current project. Click on the picture above to learn more!
Division 8 students have created their very own Flat Stanleys that are ready for adventure! There are a couple different ways they can travel…
Take Flat Stanley on Your Family Vacation
Take pictures of your family with your Flat Stanley at landmarks & recognizable locations during your travels & if you are able to purchase a postcard &/or small souvenir it is definitely welcome! When you return email the photos to Miss Watt @ stephanie.watt@sd41.bc.ca & she’ll share them with the class!
Mail Flat Stanley Around the World
Your Flat Stanley can be sent to a friend or relative that lives in another province, or one that lives in another country! We can mail our Flat Stanleys from school, so if you provide the name and address, Miss Watt will take care of the postage. Division 8 has a letter that is sent along to explain the activity to friends or family members & one for them to return to our class. The recipient will be asked to return the traveller after a week or so with pictures of the Flat Stanley somewhere in their area and a postcard or artifact/souvenir if they are able. They are also able to email me the photos @ stephanie.watt@sd41.bc.ca.
When the Flat Stanleys return to school, we will plot their whereabouts on our map & share the information received with each other.Â
Our Flat Stanley project will continue throughout the year & we are all very excited about what we’ll learn about our world. Our own travels; letters, pictures & artifacts from our friends & family; & lastly through the research we do in the classroom, we will learn about the different places our Flat Selves travel to.Â
