November

-


 It is already the month of November. Two months had quickly passed and so much had happened and there's so much more to learn in the Grade 3 class. 

Last month, we finished our Provincial Assessment 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. 

We are learning so much. In ELA, we are continuously 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, to ensure that their printing will be readable, cleaner and clearer. In Spelling, we are now in Unit 8. The words are getting harder but we are slowly getting there. 

In Math, we are learning about the 2 digit Addition and Subtraction With and Without Regrouping. It is challenging most especially when we are writing our numbers properly, making sure it is aligned according to its digit. 

In Religion, we have finished covering 3 units and we are discussing smaller lessons like Five Finger Prayer, and the ACTS Prayer - Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. Soon, we will celebrate ADVENT. 

In Science, we just did our first experiment about plants. Growing seeds with the use of tissue paper acting as soil. I can say that most students get the results that they want. The next experiment that we will probably doing is planting the seeds in real soil. We are learning so much about plants like what is a plant, its plant parts and needs, and its life cycle. 

In Social Studies, we learned about Citizenship and being a good citizen. We are now focusing our lesson about Canada by learning the anthem. And soon we will discuss all about Canada. 

In Art, we are going to do pretty cool Artworks. Just watched out for it. 

Thank you to all the parents who came to our conference. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

  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

  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

                                                      HAPPY EARTH DAY!  WHAT IS EARTH DAY?  Earth Day is  an annual celebration that honors the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earths natural resources for future generations . The first Earth Day was held April 22, 1970.  It can be as simple as  teaching them how and what to recycle, replacing plastic bags with reusable tote bags, or only using reusable water bottles . Every time you do something that helps the Earth, involve them and explain exactly what you're doing. LET'S MAKE EVERY DAY EARTH DAY!  HELLO APRIL!  The Grade 3's are making sure that they are learning and doing the best that they can in every task given to them. As we welcome the new season, the Grade 3's are all working  like bees. This last term is very busy. We need to be focused and believed in our strengths. I BELIEVE IN MYSELF!       In Religion, we have learned about Lent, The Paschal Triduum,
