Hello Parents!
We are thinking about each of your families during this time and hope that
everyone is safe and healthy. Today, we wanted to share some learning activities
that you can do at home with your children. Many of these activities can be completed
independently. Please continue to check the blog, school messengers, and the
news daily for updates. 
Thank you for your patience and support. 
Grade 3 Teachers
Math
  • Please encourage your child to practice skip counting by 2, 3, 5, 10 and 25,
  • starting at any given number counting forwards and backwards.
    • You can make this a game. For example, “I’m starting at 3, counting
    • forward by 2s. Will I say the number 17?” 
  • Practice basic math facts through playing card games
    • You can make this a game of WAR! Pick your operation
    • (adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing), each player chooses a
    • card at the same time and you race to say the answer.
    • The quickest response takes the cards
Reading 
  • With the understanding that access to books may be limited at this time,
  • please continue daily reading, when possible, with your child. 
  • The following websites are offering free subscriptions for the time being.
  • If you’re interested, follow the links below: 

Writing
Get creative, write a story using this story prompt. 
Looking down from the Eiffel Tower you notice your bright
yellow school bus is pulling away. You wave your arms
frantically and scream at the top of your lungs.
Sadly you realize you are stranded 81 stories above the
ground and you have not learned any French yet.
We would love to read your writing! If you’d like, please share your story with
your teacher on google docs! If you require assistance with passwords to access
online resources, please feel free to email me.

I have created a google folder titled Fournier Grade 3. Please feel free to share some of what you have been working on with me. I would love to see :)

Welcome to Ms. Fournier's Grade 3 class! I am super excited to be learning and teaching along-side your student this year. My name is Jennifer Fournier. Now, a little bit about me. I have two fantastic children and quite a few fur babies. My son, Corbin, is going into grade 11 this year and my daughter Felicity, is starting grade 9. We have two sweet cats, a very vocal guinea pig, an energetic hamster and a feisty hedgehog. I have a huge soft spot for animals and we have begun fostering for the Calgary Humane Society. My teaching philosophy is centered around empathy. It is most important to me that your student feels safe, comfortable and loved at school. This is when students are most successful in their learning.  Before I began my journey into teaching, I was, and still am, an illustrator. I have a degree in Visual Communications from ACAD. I illustrated for various magazines, a children’s book, posters and created a short-animated interstitial. I have always enjoyed be...
