I hope you all had a fantastic and relaxing long weekend! We began our day today with our Geometry Unit test where students were assessed on their knowledge and understanding of key concepts related to shapes and angles.
In language we worked on translating our persuasive writing organizers (OREO) into speech format. As a class we wrote a speech about having no more uniforms at St. Jude's. We were careful to consider the perspective of other people including parents, teachers, and students. Now the class is working on their own persuasive speech.
After lunch, recess, and French we learned about nutrients that live in the soil. The class read a short informative package and answered comprehension questions to demonstrate their understanding of how soil holds nutrients and provides nutrients to plants. We learned about Potassium, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus.
We even had time today for some action stars! Emana brought in a book about a seed and read it to the class! Krina dyed a flower at home and brought it in to show how the stem can soak up colours from food colouring into its petals, and Emaan and Iqra are starting a campaign to educate SJA on poor people in Africa! Wow way to go grade 3's!
After second lunch and recess we spent some time reading The Secret Garden. The class is really enjoying the mysteries surrounding the novel! They have been sent home a comprehension package to complete to assess their knowledge and understanding of read material so far. Students are to complete page 2.
We ended the day with gym and agendas before heading off to kiss and ride.
Important Reminders:
- The Secret Garden Reading Comp page 2

Have a wonderful evening!
