Next weeks schedule for Grade 3.

News from the week.

It has been another busy week in Grade 3. The Home Room
teachers and support teachers have finalized a wide range of
assessments which have given the team varied and valuable information
about each individual student. Therefore, on Sunday we can begin
spinning across the grade with personalized learning for groups and
individuals in Math, Reading and Spelling.
We were able to share the Home Learning Timetable with many of
you in our Hopes and Dreams meetings on Wednesday. It has also been
posted on this site today. We all enjoyed the time discussing both yours
and your childs aspirations for this year and goals for further into the
future. It is reassuring to know that many of the areas for academic,
social and emotional development you highlighted are already firmly
embedded in the yearly plan in Grade 3. Thank you to so many parents
for taking the time to participate and engage with your childs learning.
House Spirit Day brought out many smiling faces (and tired ones
towards the end of the day), cheers, chants, banners, flags and colors. It
was great to see children from the age of 3 to 14 joining together in the
spirit of sharing and collaboration; the experience of working towards
common goals with the knowledge it may not always bring a winning
place but with perseverance and support there are always rewards. The

As mentioned the Home Learning program will increase from
Sunday with a reading and spelling program in place. To clarify the
spelling program we have attached guidelines below. Your child will
bring home a spelling journal on Sunday which they use for all spelling
activities at home and return to school every Thursday in time for the
weekly assessment. We will send the books home again on Thursday so
you can see your childs progress from week to week.
We have completed Unit 1 of the Everyday Math program and are
ready to commence Unit 2 next week. This unit focusses on addition and
subtraction using a variety of strategies and tools to solve mathematical
problems. In your childs Home Link book there is a Unit 2 Family Letter
which we ask you to read in preparation for supporting the learning
process at home.
We are also still looking for Home Room Parents for Grade 3A and
3B. Ms. Joanne and Grade 3C are delighted that Kareems mum, Rola
Saad, offered her services today. We are very grateful and look forward
to working together to further enhance the experiences of the students
this year.

Thank you and have a relaxing weekend.
