Hello parents. We hope everyone enjoyed Springfest this year in spite of the rain. The committee did a terrific job organizing all of the events!
In the classroom, we are all working hard preparing the kids for the upcoming EQAO assessment. Please remember not to book any appointments during the last week of May. We are practising test questions with the help of our Math and Language consultants.
We are learning that a good math strategy includes a thorough ANSWER with organized PROOF and insightful supporting evidence - EXPLAIN. Ask your child about APE.
We are learning that a good reading or writing response includes a clear ANSWER using words from the question, providing PROOF from the text and EXTENDING with personal knowledge and clear inferences. Ask your child about APE.
In Science we are working on soils and plants. Some of the classes had a visit from the Scientist last week who gave and excellent overview of soils. Thank you to all the parent volunteers. We would appreciate it if you could donate a small flowering plant for our work on plants. Thank you.
We have been comparing and contrasting Urban and Rural Communities in Social Studies. We will soon be starting our research in the library and the classroom. The children will then compile their facts into a short report.
The grade three team wishes all moms a relaxing day on Sunday!!
