So proud of these young inventors for sharing their creations at yesterday’s Forces Fair! They built prototypes, created animation demos, and coded @microbit_edu to represent the different forces involved in their projects. Way to go Gr. 3! @wfwolvestvdsb @TVDSB @MsHealey18

Gr. 3 Ss programmed @microbit_edu to represent the different types of forces involved in their science projects such as gravity, magnetism, and friction. @wfwolvestvdsb @MsHealey18 #STEM @TVDSB

We are learning to use benchmarks to help us count coins on a number line. Ss worked on their proportional reasoning skills as they placed different values on the number line & used different groups of coins to represent values. @wfwolvestvdsb @tvdsbmathk8 @MsHealey18

Today was the medal ceremony for our Wilberforce Olympics! 🎉 Teams competed in four events yesterday and received different medals to celebrate their hard work. We loved taking team photos with the green screen in the LLC too! @wfwolvestvdsb @MsHealey18 @TVDSB

Ss are working on decoding and phoneme substitutions during this week’s small group meetings with our amazing teacher candidate @MsHealey18. @wfwolvestvdsb @TVDSBLiteracy

A fun day of science experiment centers with @MsHealey18 as Ss experimented with friction, gravity, and magnetism. They also worked together to research different natural forces such as hurricanes and earthquakes. @wfwolvestvdsb

Adding the finishing touches to their inventions in preparation for our Forces Fair! Ss have been incorporating their knowledge of structures and forces as they built prototypes of inventions that could solve social and environmental issues. @wfwolvestvdsb @tvdsb @MsHealey18

Gr. 3 Engineers created blueprints & began constructing prototypes for their Forces inventions. Ss are using multiplicative thinking to track their spending on materials & will calculate pay earned on time sheets by jumping on a number line. @wfwolvestvdsb @TVDSB @MsHealey18

Ss programmed their own @microbit_edu stopwatches this morning and put them to use this afternoon as @MsHealey18 taught us about friction on the hills! @wfwolvestvdsb #STEM

Ss had a blast at our Wilberforce Olympics this afternoon as they worked as a team on different physical challenges planned by @MsHealey18 for outdoor Phys. Ed.! @wfwolvestvdsb

It’s a Snow Day for our class but we’re still having fun learning remotely thanks to our amazing teacher candidate, @MsHealey18, who put together an engaging choice board to support our current learning goals @wfwolvestvdsb @tvdsb
