GIS Grade 3

Earlier this week we had the chance to  visit Grade 7  and share the  TIME CAPSULES  they created.  They shared with us  information and artefacts  from ancient civilisations.  The class was very excited  to see ancient writings and  forms of communication. They asked great questions.   Working with a partner, we are creating our own alphabet code  systems today in art!

Grade 3 students are off and running with  Reading Eggs and Typing Games Zone!  Both can be worked on at home.  Students have  their log in codes  on their  "gold cards" Please keep these cards at home.  Typing Games Zone has 75 free games to choose from.  We suggest starting with those  that are "Easy" or "Homerow" https://www.typinggames.zone
