  Happy Easter! Happy Spring!  Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!  March was a pretty busy month for the Grade 3s. The Grade 3s are all working so hard especially this term. It is the last term to master everything what we need to learn this year. This month the Grade 3s learned a lot.  April is another busy month for us all. There is so much to do and learn. We also have a learning fair to prepare.  In Religion, we learned about the season of Lent. Lent is the time to look closely at ourselves, our relationships with ourselves, with others and of course with God. We are always asked to be good. We are called to be good, in mind, heart and body. In everything we think, we say and most especially on what we do. We are going to continue learning about Easter and the Church and about Christ love for us all.  In Spelling, they are learning pretty big and challenging words and they are getting better each day.  In Language Arts, they are learning more parts of speech like verbs, and adje

  Happy New Year everyone!  Goodbye 2023! Welcome 2023! The year 2023 just went by so fast. I can still remember when I wrote my September blog - the Grade 3's were just starting the routine in the Grade 3. The continuous work, the tests, printing practices, mad minutes, and all other stuff. Now, four months had passed and the students are still trying to master their routine and they know what are the expectations required from them. I can say that they are indeed trying their best and that is what matters most.  As the new year begins, there will be new lessons, new challenges and of course new expectations. And this year they were told that they need to work double time because in eight months time, they will be in Grade 4.  In ELA, we are doing a lot of dictionary skills, finding words in the dictionary. Its definition and how they are going to use the words in a sentence. Every time we get a chance and they encounter difficult words, the dictionary is their go-to tool for lear

JOY, LOVE, HOPE, PEACE CHRISTMAS Advent comes from the Latin word "adventus" which means "coming". It is the period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas and also of preparation for the Second Coming of Christ.  While we wait for the coming of Jesus Christ, we need to remember to keep these things in our mind in our heart. We need to have to JOY, LOVE, HOPE, PEACE then we will fully understand the real meaning of CHRISTMAS.  Let us all remember that J in the candy cane stands for JESUS.  The first four months of the school year is almost over. Our first term is done. I can say that the Grade 3's are slowly getting used to the routines and expectations from them. I would like to thank you for your wonderful efforts.  We are learning so much. In ELA, it is the continuation of everything that we have started so far. Alphabetical Skills, Phonics for letter sounds, Spelling and Printing. They are always reminded to remember to s

  When you're doing a lot of learning, time flies so fast. And this is what we in the Grade 3 class is feeling. It is already the month of November and a lot has happened already and there's so much more to learn and do in the Grade 3 class.  We finished our Provincial Assessment last month and I can say that it went well. I am happy to say that even if the results of their assessment says that they're not there yet, I believe that they're getting there soon. I am proud of what they have achieved and there's always room for improvement.  We are learning so much. In ELA, we are strengthening their alphabetical skills so that they will be ready to learn more complex skills like the finding words in the dictionary and looking for its meaning. We also started Printing practices. They need to remember to stay on the line, write consistently their letters and to know when to use uppercase and lowercase letters. They need to ensure that their printing will be readable, cle

  The month of October has always been busy for the Grade 3. This is the month of our Provincial assessments in both Reading and Numeracy.  We are still in the process of learning and making sure that the daily routine have been followed. B ut we want to make sure that we are practicing the routine, until everybody gets it correctly and properly.  We have started doing some tests for each subject. It is very important for them to copy the dates written in their agenda for tests and other important information. Parents, please make sure that you check and sign their agenda everyday. The Grade 3's need to be responsible in bringing home duotangs for the subject/s that they need to study.  In Religion, we are done learning about the first lesson and we included in the lesson the importance of prayer in our lives. We have learned the Five Finger Prayer. And since October is the month of the Rosary, as a school community, we are offering our prayers and meditating on the different myste

We have so much to do and to learn. and let us not forget that we are going to have a lot of fun as well.  The first 8 days of school is already a busy week for the Grade 3 students. We started getting used to our routines most especially learning be organized with our stuff. It is very important that we take responsibility of everything.  We are slowly starting our lesson introductions for each subject and so far it is good. We just need to make and follow through with the routine and manage the expectations given.  In Religion, we are learning about prayer - the five finger prayer, the types of prayer ACTS.  In Language Arts, we have started with Spelling, practicing how do we answer our spelling homework and do our corrections for the Spelling pre-test and test.

  Goodbye May! Hello June!  Oh my! The month of May went by pretty fast and we didn't even realize that it is now the month of June...and we are now on our last month of the school year 2022-2023.  Where did those precious 9 months of learning go?  Well, the month of May is indeed a pretty busy month. The Grade 3's had been working so hard and busy as a bee. I think that the Grade 3's had grown so much not only physically but in learning too.  Just a short recap -   * In-person Book Fair - It was indeed a success. The grade 3's in particular are excited that the book fair is now in person. We reached our goal and we now have a bunch of new books that the students will for sure enjoy.  * Math Learning Fair - The grade 3's had been preparing for this learning fair. They did a couple of activities. They did Puzzle Pieces for the different ways a number could be represented, and believe me there's a lot. :) They did City Skyline Arrays and Two Truths and a Lie for A
