Book Talk - Ms. I and Ms. Perry
Grade Three students will be presenting their "Book Talks" next week, beginning on Tuesday, January 29. A schedule will be set and sent home in the Friday Folders this week so that your child knows when he/she will be presenting. On the day of their presentation please ensure that your child brings their book and all related written work to school. Practising at home is a good idea! Thank you.

Welcome Back!
Welcome to 2008! We hope everyone enjoyed safe and happy holidays.
Ms. Perry and Ms. Iafrate's grade threes will be visiting the Etobicoke Field Study Centre on Friday of this week. This trip goes rain or shine so please make sure your child is dressed in weather appropriate clothing - we will be outdoors most of our day! The children will need a pair of indoor shoes as well as a garbageless lunch- reusable containers all the way please!
"Book Talk" - All grade threes were asked to choose and begin reading a book about which they will be giving a "talk" in the class. Please don't worry about "due" dates, we will let you know when your child will be expected to present as the art portion of this project will be done in-class and will need to be completed first. Read your books carefully and thoroughly and write complete answers that will help you give your best presentation!
