Happy Friday!
We had another great week in Grade 3. We have been working on summarizing in Literacy by picking out the main ideas and writing them in our own words. It would be great if you could ask them what the main events or ideas in their book is when they read.
In Math we have been reviewing place value to 10, 000. The children have done very well overall. They sometimes need reminders about using 0 as a place holder. They are also beginning exchange extra amounts where it is needed. For example if there are 13 ones they are exchanging 10 ones for 1 ten. We will continue with this and other places value activities next week.
Spelling- The children received their first spelling sort today. They will have a spelling test next Friday. Ask them what rule they are working on and how to sort the words into the correct categories. They will practice these words everyday at school.
Class Dojo- Dojo has been set up for the class. Please send in the signed notice you received this week. Without it I will not put up picture and/or video updates of your child's learning in class. I will not be using the Class Dojo for behaviour, but to create an online portfolio of your child's learning.
Due to some conflicts the date of the trip has to be changed. We will update you on the new finalized date next week. We will also send out new trip forms with the changes. Sorry about this!

Hi!
It has been a great week! The children are starting to settle in well.
A few reminders:
1. Picture day is on Monday! Please make sure your child is wearing their school sweater or sweater vest.
2. Raz kids is now up and running for the class. It is a great resource. Please remind your children not to rush through the work and answer the questions carefully. This will help them with their comprehension of a text.
If you would like to receive updates from Raz kids about the work you child is doing on the sight, you can! Any information you need to do this should be on the notice sent out are the start of the week.
3. I have received a few scholastic book orders. if you are interested in ordering please send the orders in by Tuesday, September 20th.
New:
The children have been given their Mathletics usernames and passwords. They are taped to the front plastic pocket in their planners. There are some great activities on the sit for the children related to the topics we have been learning in Math.
Have a wonderful weekend!
