Welcome to Grade 3

Grade 3 is an exciting time in your child’s learning career. It is a time of change, growth and development. Students begin their transition from ‘little’ kids in the school to ‘big’ kids at Mike Mountain Horse. They are now encouraged to become role models and leaders within our school and are expected to take ownership of their actions and learning. Together we will grow, learn and laugh through whatever may come our way. 

Thank you to those parent who have already filled out and sent back the information sheet about your child. I have enjoyed reading what you had to share about your child and am looking forward to being your child's teacher this year.

February 2018

We have been very busy since the beginning of January.

I am sure your child has come home and told you about our FinS (Fish in School) project. We are raising rainbow trout in our class as part of our "Animal Life Cycle" unit for Science. We received 65 rainbow trout eggs from Bow Habitat Station in Calgary on January 24th and will be releasing them in early June. We were able to participate in a webinar and learn a lot about our rainbow trout and their life cycle. The following is a link to our webinar:

            FinS Fish & Lifecycle of a Rainbow Trout

Please drop by the class and check out this exciting project. Your child would be happy to tell you about our rainbow trout.

We have also been hard at work with our PBL project: "Looking at Lethbridge". Please check your child's agenda for an important letter about what your child needs to bring to school to complete this building project.
