CHANGE STARTS WITH US DIVISION 8! FTC14_303_WeCreateChange_Poster_Rnd01_v02_MO3Goats are amazing animals; they can survive in difficult conditions, aren’t picky eaters, & can produce 16 cups of milk a day, which can supplement student meals or be sold to help pay for school improvements. With enough time, they can also breed & grow into a herd!

Spiral Multiplication!

Looking for a new twist on how you practice your multiplication tables!?
1 ~ Use a deck of cards (we use A-9) to make a spiral game board starting from the center.
2 ~ Place your game pieces at the start.
3 ~ Player 1 rolls the die & multiplies the number on the die by the card the game piece is on.
4 ~ If they are correct, they move the number of spaces the die shows. If they are incorrect, they do not get to move.
5 ~ Take turns & repeat until someone reaches the end.

I Want To Fly ~ starring Yi!

Yi & her family made a video that was created as part of the Burnaby Digital Storytelling Project. I think is very important for everyone to take a few minutes to watch this inspiring video.
Yi’s mom, Ada’s, digital story is inspired by her experience as an immigrant to Canada. Like many immigrants, she wanted to give her daughter a better life. The themes seen here were inspired by Yi, who has always wanted to fly & who loves birds. Ada chose to make all of the sound & drawings with Yi.
In Ada’s words, the story is “special, a work of both of us.”

Well done Yi!! You & your mom did a beautiful job & you should feel very proud!
After watching the video grade 3s, do you have any connections to Yi’s experience?
