Hello Everyone,

Lots of information to share!

 In Math, we have concluded our unit on area and perimeter. Evaluation for this unit will be based on in class activities and tasks that were done. We are moving onto different strategies to multiply and divide. Please always encourage your child to practise his/her skip counting by various numbers as this assists with the accuracy and efficiency of multiplication and division.

In Language, we continue to work toward writing our good copies of our stories for Young Authors during Catholic Education Week.

In Science, the students have been observing and recording the changes happening to their bean seed.

  The grade 3s had the opportunity to participate in a block of Makerspace. The students were given the opportunity to problem solve by programming, by constructing, by coding and by developing electrical circuits to reach the desired goal. Ask your child to tell you about the bee-bot.

LATE BREAKING NEWS
I told the class on Friday that I will be away from class for awhile in order to have an operation. This surgery presented itself very quickly and is unavoidable. I will be away for at least 6 weeks. I can assure you that I answered all the questions that the students had and I will be leaving them in very capable hands with very detailed instructions to be followed so our class follows the intended progression of the grade 3 curriculum.

SWIM TO SURVIVE
A note is going on on Monday to remind the students that our class is going to Swim to Survive this Wednesday April 12th, 19th and 26th. Please do not send things for your child to shower with or money to buy a treat with as there is no time for either. The purpose of this outing is solely to know how to survive if your falls into open water.
