November

It was great to speak with all of the families at student-led conferences.  The students were very proud of the work they put into their portfolios and were very excited to take them home and share them with their family.  

November is a time of remembrance and peace.  The grade three students have been learning about Remembrance Day and we took part in the Remembrance Day ceremony on Thursday, November 7th. 

In Language Arts, we have been focusing on our reading, writing and spelling.  We have been writing in our journals, working in our phonics and spelling text books and writing summaries and reviews of stories we are reading in class.  The students are working on adding detail to their writing to make it more interesting and re-reading our work to make sure it makes sense.  

In Math, we are beginning our next unit on Place Value.  We will learn expanded form, base ten blocks and written form for numbers from 1-1000.  We will continue to do our Math Minutes on addition and subtraction so please remember to practice addition facts up to 18 at home.    

In Social Studies, we are continuing to learn about being a good Canadian citizen.  We will be learning about leadership, decision making and conflict resolution this month.   

In Science, we are learning about Growth and Changes in Plants.  We will learn about the types of trees, compare different types of plants, and learn what plants need in order to survive.  

·         Tuesday, November 12th – Early Dismissal 2:20 pm

Please continue to check and sign your child’s agenda each night.  We write in our agenda every day to communicate homework assignments and important things that are happening in our classroom and in the school.

  Welcome Back to School! Welcome to Grade 3!      I hope that everyone had a good and enjoyable summer.      Grade 3 is considered to be a big year. But I would like to think that this is the year that we "prepare" them for works that big kids do for the upper year.      To give you an overview of what is going to happen in this grade, I have listed some of them for you.  Grade 3 is the year that the children are becoming more independent especially in their work.  They will be having tests in all subjects with review sheets. They will be the one responsible for putting all their paper in the right place or right duotang. Grade 3 is where they get their knowledge to do things in the upper grade. For example, they have a test and they didn't know what and how to study. In this grade, I would set up review sheets, so they know how and what to study for test.  Math lessons gets harder as the year progress and they will be le...

  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 pa...

  When you're doing a lot of learning, time flies so fast. And this is what we in the Grade 3 class is feeling. It is already the month of November and a lot has happened already and there's so much more to learn and do in the Grade 3 class.  We finished our Provincial Assessment last month 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. I am proud of what they have achieved and there's always room for improvement.  We are learning so much. In ELA, we are 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. They need to remember to stay on the line, write consistently their letters and to know when to use uppercase and lowercase letters. They need to ensure that their printing will be readable, cle...
