I hope everyone  had a fabulous Family Day Weekend. My boys and I spent the day at the Museum of Civilization with Bob the Builder. We had lots of fun!

Don't forget that our whole school will celebrating 50 years of Canada's flag tomorrow. Please wear red and white to commemorate the event!  We will be doing several language and math activities tomorrow that are related to this special celebration. It may be too cold to sing our National Anthem at the flagpole in the morning! We'll have to wait and see...

Friday, February 6th

We have been working very hard getting caught up on projects that had to get finished. We have now all published our non-fiction projects and our Angry Bird houses are all complete. We will test our houses again a variety of forces next week (a hurricane, an earthquake and gravity).

The Non-Fiction Reports are proudly displayed outside our classroom and the Angry Bird houses are in our Learning Commons.

We continue to work on mental math concepts for addition and subtraction. I want the students to not be "afraid" of big numbers! We will also continue to work on addition and subtraction with and without regrouping next week.

Well we didn't win the HOT for SENS contest but I am extremely proud of all of our student's efforts They did amazing and should be very proud of their accomplishments! UNTIL NEXT WEEK... Have a fabulous weekend everyone! Ms. Harrington

Hi Parents! We did not finish filming our Hot 89.9 HOT for SENS contest entry today as we had a practise lockdown this afternoon. This took up much our third block. So some students have left there Sens gear at the school. We will wrap up tomorrow! Thanks for all your patience boys and girls. You're doing awesome!

Week of January 27th, 2015

Another busy week in Grade 3!

Language - We're almost done our non-fiction reports. Stop by and look at our bulletin board it looks great! We have also been working on spelling and parts of speech for single and plural nouns.

Math - Geometry is happening here! Angles are everywhere. The students have been learning about right angles. Some have even the grasped the difference between a right, obtuse and acute angle. (way beyond grade 3 knowledge!) GREAT JOB!

Science - We are a little behind on starting our Angry Bird projects because we have been working hard at preparing for our entry to the Hot for Sens contest. This will be filmed on Wednesday. We have been learning about forces and the different types of forces there are. 

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28th, 2015 - PLEASE WEAR YOUR SENS JERSEYS AND/OR RED, WHITE AND BLACK. YOU MAY ALSO BRING ANY SENS SOUVENIRS ETC. THAT YOU HAVE AT HOME!
