Grade 3 Monthly Blog

  I sincerely apologized for not keeping this blog updated last month.  The whole month of May has truly gone by so fast and didn't realized that it was already over. As a school, we were so busy. We had our Assembly for the Mary Month of May. We have a beautiful theme this year which was "Mary, Cause of Our Joy".

  Happy Easter!  Christ has Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!  Easter is the most significant Christian festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  " The Easter Story:   Following his arrest and trial, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday at Calvary. He was buried in a tomb, but on the third day (Sunday), his followers, including Mary Magdalene, found the tomb empty. Christians celebrate this resurrection as validation of Jesus’ divinity and promise of eternal life." Spring break gives us and helps us to have a wonderful break away from our busy work and schedule. It helps us to be renewed and revisit our goals for this year. I am hoping that everyone had a wonderful break. We are going to be expecting more warmer weather and a lot of sunshine.  In English Language Arts, we continue to practice our skills through our weekly spelling program, phonics and writing activities.    We will be doing opinion writing.
