Happy weekend parents!

We had a great day yesterday in third grade! We began our day with math where we moved on to counting money. The class was fantastic at adding coins and bills to count money. We worked on showing money in more than one way by using different combinations of coins and bills. They really enjoyed learning about money!

In language we finally began exploring our country or International-mindedness day next Friday! We first read a book about Egypt and some of the students shared items that they have brought in form Egypt with the class! They class was shocked to find out that cities in Egypt looked alot like our cities! We then spoke a little bit about ancient Egypt and we wrote out our names in hieroglyphics! I am very excited to have parents guess whose name is whose next Friday!

After lunch and recess we continued working on UOI. The class had time to finish their chemical energy posters and they turned out SO well! I am so proud to put these on our classroom walls! We spent some time at the end of UOI discussing the summative assignment for forces and motion. The students will be making something to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of forces and motion. For example a windmill, a rocket car, a catapult or a boat. Students will have to explain their choice and how it uses forces and motion!

We ended the day with a classroom clean, gym, and agendas, before playing a quick game and heading off to kiss and ride!

Important Reminders: 

• Math homework page 120-121
• Reading comprehension-this week students picked their own books to read and have been asked to journal 1/2- 1 page on their favourite part of the book and why. 
• Bring in any materials for summative for Monday 
• Re-registration package deadline is fast-approaching! Get yours in before we open registration up to the public! :)

The Grade Ones will be turning their classrooms into grocery stores for our Organization unit. The students have been working really hard to stock it full of healthy snacks and drinks. On Tuesday Jan. 17th we will be opening our stores to SJA classes to purchase healthy snacks and drinks for $1-2. All proceeds will be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital.
