At School:

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Grade 4 Farewell on Friday—it was wonderful to celebrate together! 

In Math: We explored the geometric properties of polygons and learned how to classify triangles by their angles and side lengths.

In Literacy: Students wrote a paragraph about why they are a star. They reflected on their unique strengths, accomplishments and positive qualities. This activity encouraged self-awareness and helped students celebrate what makes them special! Also, we are currently writing a procedural piece called How to Escape from an Alien Planet.

In Social Studies: We are working on our Settlers and Suitcases heritage project. Students designed their own suitcases and added personal photos with captions inside.



In Wellness: We discussed the changes that occur during puberty and explored healthy ways to cope with them.

In Art: Students created their own personal star to showcase at our Grade 4 Farewell on Friday!


Looking Forward:

*We are planning a Community Walk on Monday, June 23 to mark National Indigenous History Month and the summer solstice. During our walk, we will visit a Sit Spot to observe our surrounding. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. 

*Sports Day is on Tuesday! Students will be participating in outdoor activities in the morning, so please ensure they are dressed for the weather, wearing proper running shoes, and bring a water bottle. 

*On Wednesday, we will be walking to the park with our Kindergarten buddies one last time!

Messages from School: 

Grade 3 and The Calgary Bridge Foundation

On June 12 & 13, in conjunction with their study of global citizenship and their Social Studies curriculum, the grade 3 classes once again sponsored an Art and Lemonade Sale to raise money for charity.

MTS students brought in their toonies to purchase lemonade, cookies, sunflowers and an assortment of crafts created by our grade 3 students.

We are thrilled to say that we raised $3692.00 through the sale! Over the last 3 years, we have raised almost $9000!

The proceeds will be donated to the Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth, an organization that supports immigrant and refugee youth and their families with knowledge and information about Canadian culture and school system. 

Thank you again for all your support!

Transportation Registration is now available through your CBE Account.

Families must register each year if they require busing for their student. If you are uncertain if your child is taking the bus in September, it is best to register now and cancel before September 30.

I would love to start by introducing myself. I’m Carolyn Wickenheiser and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to be your child’s teacher for the rest of the school year. Our time together is off to a great start! We had a wonderful first week together as we settled back into consistency, routine and expectations here at MTS. As I am sure you may have heard, Mrs. Siarkiewicz’ beautiful baby boy, Arias, was born on December 29th, 2024. He is absolutely adorable and we are extremely happy for her as she welcomes her new bundle of joy!                                         At School: In Literacy: After reading Martin’s Big Words by Doreen Rappaport, we discussed our “Big Words” for 2025. Students were asked to write about one word that was important to them this year and then they created agamographs.       In Word Work: This week we focused on the prefix multi-. A...

Hi families,  We had Mr. Mike Hebenton, our acting principal, read a story to our class on World Read Aloud Day (Wednesday). The students were so respectful and welcoming that he wanted to come back in and read Jumanji to them on Thursday! At School: In Math:  This week we shifted from multiplying 3-digit by 1-digit numbers to dividing them! Students were taught the Area Model Strategy. It was a challenge for some students as there are quite a few steps to remember. Here are the steps and an example in case you would like to work on this strategy at home. Next week, we will start long division.                                               In Literacy:  We talked about our topic sentences in our paragraphs and how we could enhance them in our writing. We discussed 4 different kinds of topic sentences and students chose their own topic and practiced writi...

At School: In Literacy:  We wrote a paragraph about our favorite thing! Students were encouraged to use an If..Then, Even..though, Since or When topic sentence, 3 details to support their topic sentence, and a strong concluding sentence like we discussed.  In Math: Students were given a mid-point assessment on multiplication and division. They were given this assessment back on Wednesday to take home. There is still time to practice before our unit test in March. A huge thank you to families who are working on basic multiplication facts at home! While students have multiplication charts as tools in their desks from the fall, the expectation is to know multiplication facts automatically without using the multiplication chart. Please continue to work with your child on multiplication basic facts whenever possible and we will continue to work on them in school as well. This week, students were introduced to long division and that will be our focus for the next week or two. ...
