Good Afternoon, Grade 3 Families!

Thank you for attending the parent-teacher conferences on Thursday and Friday.  It was wonderful to meet with all of you and discuss your child's learning and celebrate their hard work.

 This week for spelling practice the words are:

-all 
-am
-are 
-at
-ate
-be
-black
-brown
-but
-came

Please review them at home, and we will do the same here during Literacy Centers!

In literacy, we will continue to work on our persuasive writing skills.  We will have lessons pertaining to conventions and building up ideas to support our topics while writing.

We continue to compare 5 countries of study and are looking at different ways people dress in different countries.

In math, we will be starting our unit on word problems and continue to work towards improving our basic facts to helps us master making our responses automatic.

Please look in your child's Feedback Friday folders, go over this week's page, sign and return it to school. Students should be keeping each week's page in their folder, to see the growth and what we need to work on! 

Have a Great Evening!

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.

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
