Hello Parents!
I hope you all are having a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Yesterday
we began our day with math games, we started with a scavenger hunt game where
students were required to identify numbers from clues around the room using their
knowledge of place value and odds and evens. The class then had time to colour
a mystery picture using a hundreds chart. I thought after such a busy week with
summatives and the science fair the students deserved a much needed break and
they had so much fun colouring mystery pictures!
In language we started by completing our spelling test, then
when we were finished the class was provided more time to work on their summatives.
We began by brainstorming what makes a good presentation and the class came up
with some wonderful ideas including eye contact, memorizing what you would like
to say, being confident, and speaking loudly and clearly. Afterward most
students were working on completing their presentations or were practicing their
presentations.
After lunch, recess, and French we had more time to work on
our summative assignments. I circulated the class to help students, who were
still working on finishing their assignments or their presentations, I am so
proud of all of their hard work!
After second lunch and recess I had a special surprise for
the class. The students were a little upset that most of their balloon cannons
were broken at the science fair on Thursday, but they kept their heads held
high and still let the little ones try their cannons. I was so proud of their caring
attitude and their maturity. As a result I brought in the materials to make new
balloon cannons (the students really wanted to take them home!), so before
heading off to gym and kiss and ride we made balloon cannons!
Special note! Over the weekend our friend Emana will be
celebrating her 7th birthday! She brought in some yummy treats for
us to take home! Thank you Emana and we hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Important Reminders:
- Spelling Test Signed and Returned
- Report cards went home, please complete the parent comment section and return
- Reading comprehension homework, I am seeing amazing progress in terms of students reading through the reading comprehension homework given over the weekends!
- Practice for summative presentations (they have been pushed to Monday based on students pacing)
- We will be having a winter food and toy drive starting on December 1st (a letter will be sent home on Monday with more details-the grade threes are in charge of running it!)
Have a wonderful weekend!
