March and April

-

 


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 adjectives. As well as syllables and idiomatic expressions. 

In Math, they started learning about multiplication strategies like using Repeated Addition, Equal Group, Arrays and Number Lines. They started learning how to tell time. They are learning new things but they are continuously mastering the basic facts in Addition and Subtraction. 

In Science, we are almost done with Plants. They studied and learned about Leaves, Flowers and will do Stems and Roots. Soon we will move to Force and Energy and then Magnets. 

In Social Studies, I am excited to open a new unit about Early Communities in Canada. We will start learning about the different types of Communities and then we'll move to the six different Indigenous Peoples of Canada. We will learn about their daily life, diet, arts and culture, transportation and clothing. These are just some of the topics we will cover. It is very exciting because they are also going to do a project about it. (Can't tell you yet, you'll know in the learning fair. :) )

In French, they are going to learn about the French body parts. 

In Art, they love doing Art projects. This time they are doing a lot of directed drawings. There are instructions. They must follow the directions for them to be able to draw the right picture. 

A reminder once again, please make sure that you are checking and signing your child's agenda everyday. This is a great tool for communication between school and home. 

If you have any questions or concern about your child, please fell free to write me a note in their agenda or send me an email to grade3sgs@gmail.com. 

Thank you!

  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,
