Congratulations to Ellie and Jackson for always being Optimistic! They received the recognition awards for the month of January. These students always come to school with a smile, try to find the positives in a situation, and rarely complain! Well done!
Congratulations also to Leah for completing "Reading Across Canada"! She read at home for a total of 2600 minutes since October, and has begun the program for a second time! Great job!
In Math, we've been working on Measurement. Last week, students were measuring classroom items in centimetres and metres, as well as choosing the most appropriate unit of measure (cm, m, or km) for an object or distance. We also worked on converting units (m to cm), so that we could order measurements from shortest to longest, and solve problems. Our quiz went home on Thursday to be signed and returned. This week we are measuring perimeter and area in problem solving situations. As our measurement unit continues, we will learn time and temperature as well.
In Language, we are focusing on reading comprehension strategies, and procedure writing. In Media Literacy, students have been analyzing the persuasive features of products and designing their own cereal box.
In music, we will be singing some of the Beauty and the Beast songs in order to become familiar with the musical prior to seeing the performance at the Gayety Theatre on February 9th.
Students will have an opportunity to exchange Valentine cards on Friday, February 13th. I will send home a class list shortly to help with this. If you would like to send in a snack for sharing for our party, please do! It is also red, white and pink day!
As part of our physical education program, the grade 3's will be going cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at Highlands Nordic on February 27th. This is always a wonderful day of fun and fresh air! The permission slip will be sent home shortly.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support!
Mrs. Hale
