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.

New:

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.

Change of Trip Date:

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!
