THINK MATH!

Posted on September 29, 2021 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Every Monday Ms. Watt will post a new “answer” on our class Think Math chart.
Your challenge is to correctly write a word problem that matches the answer on a sticky note and place it on your class number.
There are as many different correct answers as there are students in our class!
Good luck Grade 2/3s! I can’t wait to share your creative word problems every week!!

Try Like Terry

Posted on September 20, 2021 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Nelson’s Terry Fox run will take place on Friday at 1:45pm. Nelson will be meeting on Zoom to remember Terry and think about what’s possible, if we just Try like Terry. Then classes will be warming up and then running together on our usual routes around the school! All this week Nelson students and teachers are being encouraged to donate at least one toonie through School Cash Online and have the fundraising goal of $2,000…but I think we can beat it by at least 50%. Let’s! Go! Nelson!

School Supplies

Posted on September 14, 2021 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Tomorrow, Wednesday September 15th, Nelson students will be starting in their new classrooms. Please ensure your child comes prepared with all of their school supplies for the year. Do not keep extra supplies at home as your child will need them as they run out and cannot share with other students during the pandemic. All supplies provided for your child will be stored for them until needed.
The list of School Supplies needed this year can be found on our school website HERE
Please let me know if you have any concerns.
Thanks for your continued support, Ms. Watt

What is the Story of Your Name?

Posted on September 10, 2021 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Hello Grade Threes! Below are the questions you took home last night to answer. Here are the answers from my mom. I can’t wait to hear all of your wonderful name stories today!

My Name: Stephanie Danielle
Who was I named after? Why? You weren’t named after anyone.
Why did you choose my name? I liked the sound of the name and wanted something unique. At the time I didn’t know any family or friends with the name.
What does my name mean? crown or garland (Greek origin)
Was I named before before or after I was born? Before
Were you considering other names for me? Yes! I really liked Charlotte but it wasn’t very popular. I wanted to name you Amy but then your initials would be A&W, like the restaurant. I also liked Vanessa but your initials would be VW, like the car. Jennifer was considered as well but your uncle had just married a girl named Jennifer and I didn’t want two Jennifers in the same family.
I would have liked a more German name (my mom is from Germany) like Angelika, but I didn’t think people would pronounce it correctly, after having my own name, Regina, mispronounced for years.
I think the name Stephanie suits you very well!

Kennedy’s 5 Senses Poem

Posted on April 15, 2021 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

The Beach
Looks like waves crashing down the beach
Sounds like seagulls eating crabs
Smells like crabs pinching their claws
Tastes like a peanut butter sandwich
Feels like seaweed coming out from the sand
