We are now on the third month of Grade 3. Whew! How time flies so fast?  There are so many things that had happened and is going to happen this month.  First, we started this month by celebrating our school mass with Archbishop Albert LeGatt. We are fortunate to have our school visited by His Grace, Archbishop LeGatt. The Grade 3s worked so hard to make this school mass a successful event. They practiced. They read and sang very well. I am so proud of them.  Second, the provincial assessment were done. The Grade 3s did their best and they had good results. The results were given to the parents. They can ask about the results and what it meant for their children during the conference.  Third, we had our Student-Led Conferences. The Grade 3s had worked so hard to prepare their portfolios so that they have something to show to their parents. They were able to talked about their work and what were they proud of this term and what needs to improve. It was great to speak w...

  October is always the busy month for the  Grade 3.  Provincial assessments are conducted during this month for both Reading and Numeracy.  We are still 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. Grade 3 is considered to be the "transition year".  New things have been learned this year. They have tests in almost every 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 learned about God's Love. We have short units as well about the Ten Commandments, The Creation, and St. Gerard Majella. We already participated for the nine days novena for St. Gerard. Octo...

Welcome to our Grade 3 class!  We have a tremendously exciting–and busy-year ahead.           I am very very happy to let you know that the opportunity to teach your child is a privilege and a responsibility I take very seriously. I will do my very best to motivate, comfort and appreciate your child and all the gifts he or she will bring to our classroom.           Let me tell you a little secret. I will teach them to the best of my abilities but  I will need your help. Whether it’s ensuring your child has completed homework assignments, helping him or her study for test, or simply asking your child, “What surprised or excited you in the classroom today?”, your encouragement and interest will definitely make a huge difference.           I will keep you informed of the work your child will be doing, as well as any special events going on at our school and in our classroom.
