Hello, Grade 3 Families!

We hope you are enjoying a beautiful long thanksgiving weekend with your families!  Last week we were very busy collecting information and learning about bar graphs.  We will continue with this work this week and answer word problems about the data we have collected.  Please see the bonus question below that children can do if they are looking for a challenge this weekend.  We enjoyed our walk on Monday and were able to collect rocks for a project we are doing about land formations (which we started learning about last week).  Both classes have started to read a novel titled the "Wish Tree" By Christina Applegate.  The children are so engaged with this novel and we will be exploring the concept of empathy and connecting all curricular areas as we take this journey in literacy.  Please watch the trailer below to see what it's all about!

Math bouns question:  Make a bar graph by collecting your own data and charting it.  You will need a question, and categories. 

An example could be:  How many different coloured shirts do I have in my closet?  Red, yellow, green, blue.

Feel free to use this question or make your own.


Reminders:
- Bring book truck books back when finished reading them, as the next visit will be October 23rd
- Scholastic book order link is here: https://canadaclubs.scholastic.ca/en/shop-all-flyers and if you spend $30, and use code CLIFFORD, you get to pick a FREE book!

Have a Great Weekend!!

Good Morning, Grade Three Families, Last week we established some new routines including music on Tuesday/Thursday and choir on Friday.  We will we also visited Ms. Dorothy in the learning commons for a story and will continue this practice throughout the year.  Children will be able to sign out books through the week and can keep them for up to two weeks.  As children are building up their stamina to read at school and at home during quiet or partner reading, we encourage them to keep one book at school and take one home. Last week started to explore rocks and minerals in science, the parts and whole of numbers in math and a map of my heart in social.  Literacy was discovered through centers as well as in other curriculum areas. This week we will learn about the layers of the earth in science, a map of my community in social and increasing and decreasing numbers in mathematics. Reminders Parent-Teacher Conferences Thursday 3:30pm-7:30pm Friday 8:00-12:30 If you haven&

Good Morning, Grade 3 Families! We hope you have enjoyed the first week back to school as much as we have. As we are now settling in to our new classes we will begin Literacy centers every morning, and starting into Rocks and Minerals this week! Some of our favorite things w e enjoyed this week were learning new Math card games, mindful sketching in the courtyard and a game called "Who is It?". Your children took home a new folder on Friday, containing a "Feedback Friday" sheet with basic math facts and some writing where we were able to get to know a bit more about them! They were given 30 minutes to get as much done as they could and taken home to share with their family. These will be done every Friday to show you what we are working on, what you can assist your child with, as well as how your child is improving throughout the year. Starting this week, we will be asking parents/guardians to sign the Feedback Friday page and return with the folder, to ensure t
