June Update

 Can you believe we are almost done school? What a year it has been, we are in the home stretch! I thought I would send a quick update of what our last month of school will look like. Sadly, this year we will not be having a sports day, school BBQ or volunteer tea due to covid restrictions. Let's hope the end is near and all theses activities will be back next year! We do have fun snack (Popsicles) on June 18th lets hope the weather is nicer for our frosty treat. We will have our schools virtual assemblies (Tuscany Togethers) each Friday for all of June and a Farewell for the grade 4,5, and 6 and Ms White too. Our class made a great farewell video to a famous boy band song, the link is on the classroom for you to enjoy! We also had a chance to meet our new principal Mr Tomczyk last Friday, the class was really excited to meet him. He will be visiting this week as well. The last day of school will be Monday 28th and Report cards will be available for you to print that day on PowerSchool.


We are wrapping up our curriculum for grade 3. Take a peek below of what we are working on and you can also go to the classroom for a more in depth look.

Math

We are learning how to measure mass in grams and Kilograms with a scale. Then we will learning about Fractions and finish our year with 3D shapes.

Language Arts

We have written persuasive letters to Mrs Devitt and to me to ask for any changes they would like at school. These letters were wonderful and many have received their request! We are finishing our puppet show which summarizes a Myth from one of the 4 countries we have been learning about. We have also written buddy letters to our grade 1 buddies wishing them a good summer. In the next few week,s we will complete our last story of the year, a fractured fairy tale. 

Science

We have been learning about types of bridges. We have learned about Bridges in Calgary and will building bridges with k'nex kits for the last few weeks.

Social

We have wrapped up learning about helping organizations and will be looking at our own heritage for the last few weeks. Students will get a chance to research a country from their heritage or a country that they are interested in to wrap up our year long inquiry on Culture.  We will also be looking at goods and services and talk about imports and exports into Canada. 


Thanks for your continual support!

 Hi Parents, 10 more sleeps! I hope you and your family are doing well. Today we practiced describing hot chocolate and are making crystals. We are just wrapping up our subtraction unit and are making festive word problems. Just a reminder that this week the kiddos can wear their festive hats and shirts all week. Thursday will be the last day of classes (it is a full day) and it is Pajama Day. We voted on watching a movie Thursday afternoon. Please feel free to send a special snack for the movie. There is no school Friday. Classes will resume online Jan 5th. All the information will come to you over your break. Tomorrow the link for our virtual assembly will be sent to you and I will post it on the blog and classroom as well. Thank you again for all the generous gifts, this class spoils me each day!

Dec 3rd Update

 Hi Parents Thank you all for booking interviews tonight and tomorrow. This week we learned all about India. They have different festivals like Diwali and Holi. Ask me about these festivals. In math we are doing 3 digit subtraction with regrouping. Ask me about the Robin Hood rule. We did lots of art this week. I can't wait to show you my rangolis, mehendi hands and Christmas trees. Today we learned the plural rule. Most words you just add an S, if it ends in a hissing letter (S, X, CH, SH) we add an ES. If it ends in a and f we drop the f and add an VES. There are lots of jail words I will share some  with you.  Reminders: -Fun Snack next Friday Dec 11th- You can order in Healthy Hunger -Pajama day Dec 17th -Paper towel or toilet pape rolls and yarn needed if you have them (please don't go buy) -Last day of school Dec 17th -Festive hat and shirt week Dec 14th-17th Have a great weekend The Grade 3's
