February 3rd


Hello Grade 3 Families!

 This weeks spelling words are:
open, over, put, round, some, stop, take, thank, them, then

We have began an inquiry project where we use the question: How can we use design thinking to design and create sustainable bridges around the world? With the focus on our countries of study (Canada, Peru, India, Tunisia, and Ukraine). This project will combine all subjects and we are so excited to get started!

 We will continue to work on 2D shapes, and begin exploring 3D ones this week. This knowledge is helpful for our building unit.

 Please be safe outside - with the melting and freezing there are some icy spots on sidewalks.

 Reminders:
- Cool Card fundraiser went home on Thursday, and orders are due February 20th
- Eco Leaders are snowshoeing Wednesday (please dress for the weather) 
- No school next Thursday, Friday or the following Monday (Family Day)

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&
