Happy Monday Parents!
We had a fantastic day here in third grade! We began with math centers this morning where the students were required to add money together, make the same amount using different coins, and problem solve!
After math we worked on our International-Mindedness Day research. The students chose a partner and then were provided a topic that interested them! They used the tablets and the books on Egypt in the class to begin becoming the experts on their topic! I have asked them to look up some more information tonight at home if they have time! Also if parents would like you are more than welcome to send Egyptian foods to school on Friday for International-Mindedness day that are nut-free to share with the school!
After lunch, recess, and french we had UOI where students began planning for their summative assignments. They wrote out the materials and the process for their project and students who finished will begin building tomorrow!
We finished the day with Music and Gym before completing agendas and heading off to kiss and ride!

Forces and Motion Summative:
Tomorrow we will be working hard on our summative projects for our forces and motion unit! As clarification the students are responsible for creating ONE project that demonstrates their knowledge of more than one force. For example a windmill not only demonstrates a push force, but also shows how forces influence speed. I have asked students to bring in the procedure (printed from the internet) for tomorrow as we will begin building tomorrow and some students can’t remember from their heads how to build their chosen project.
International Day:
Tomorrow we will also be working on researching our country more. Each student has been provided a more specific topic that they are responsible for with a partner. They are to become the expert on their chosen topic to use for our presentation/poster. The students are required to go home tonight and print off any of the material that they need for tomorrow (they should know their own topics) we do have access to books and tablets tomorrow but any additional material would be great (the internet here isn’t fantastic for researching).
International-Mindedness Day will take place on Friday, parents are welcome to come to the school at 2:30 until 3:15. There will be no kiss and ride this day.
Re-registration Packages:
I have only received a few re-registration packages from students, please get them in as soon as possible to ensure that you are reenrolled for next year!
Sick Kid’s Fundraiser for the Grade 1’s
The grade 1’s are having a healthy food store tomorrow as part of their organization unit! Please send students with money to purchase fresh fruit, granola bars, juice, and other healthy snacks! All proceeds are being donated to Sick Kids Hospital.
