Jingle Returns!!

Posted on December 5, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Santa has been sending Jingle, a friendly scout elf from the North Pole, to Room 203 to watch and report on whether Nelson’s Grade 3s are being naughty or nice! She keeps an eye on who is filling their classmates’ buckets during the month of December. Looks like she’s back and having some fun!
I can’t wait to see who’ll be the first to spy the new spot she’ll be watching from each day! I hope her daily report to Santa includes many acts of kindness that she witnesses in our classroom.

Imagination Islands

Posted on November 22, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Div. 8 students designed and planned their very own islands! They were asked to be as creative as they could and have islands that were rich with landforms. They could add places for the inhabitants of their island to work, play and live. They used a paper plate and craft materials to create a 3-D map of the island. Click on the pic to see their wonderful creations!

Taking too long?

Reload document

Open in new tab

Hello families! Division 8 students have sketched their very own islands, including at least 4 landforms we have been learning about, and will be creating a model of their islands on a paper plate next week!
I will provide the materials above (paper plates, plasticine, pipe-cleaners, toothpicks, card board, construction paper, tissue paper…) but students are welcome to bring their own art or craft supplies that are available to them!
Feel free to bring figurines to inhabit their island as well.
Any questions, please ask!
Thank you for your continued support, Ms. Stephanie Watt
