October

 

You will not realize that time is passing by so quickly when you are busy learning....

In the Grade 3 classroom, we are still continuously working and learning new lessons. We have pretty much learned the routine on what to do for each of the subjects. But we are still busy learning and 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. 

   In Spelling, we will be including themed spelling words. Spelling Pre-test is every Monday and the test is Friday. After the Spelling Pre-test, they will be writing down their mistakes 10 times and 5 times during the Spelling Test. 

    In Language Arts, we will be learning how to use the dictionary.  In  Grammar we are learning about Nouns - Common and Proper Nouns. We are doing phonics, they are learning long and short vowel sounds. Please be reminded to do your Reading Log every night. 

    In Math, we are continuously focusing on strengthening their mental math skills through a variety of activities in addition, subtraction and other lessons. We will be reviewing Place Values, Reading and Writing numbers, Ordering of Numbers, Skip counting. Soon we will talk about Fact Families. 

    In Science, we are continuously learning about the Plants: what is a plant and why it is important. Then we will move to its different parts and its life cycle. 

    In Social Studies, we are started learning about Citizenship, their Rights and Responsibilities as a Citizen and so much more. We will also learn the importance of Canada's national anthem and Remembrance Day. 

    In French, we are learning the Basic French words like days of the week, months, colors, greetings, saying or introducing in French, number and other common French words.  We are spelling and pronouncing the words properly. 

    One of the most important things happening this month is that they will be tested and assessed in both Numeracy and Reading. Letter and information about this were given to the students.
