Dear Grade Threes & Parents:
Today we spent time looking at the story of Gilgamesh the King. We were asked to think and write about "What Makes a Great Leader?" Students were asked to brainstorm adjectives and attributes that they would use to describe a leader. We will continue with this tomorrow. Currently, we are in the process of choosing a Student Voice Representative from our classroom to attend lunch time meetings once a month with Mrs. Unruh.
Key Information Test: On Friday, we will be quizzing students on their parent's names, their home phone numbers and address and parent cell phone numbers. Please review or help them learn these important things before Friday. Thanks!
In the upcoming week, the Literacy M.A.P. homework will consist of students learning or reviewing the 70 graphemes. This daily review will improve their success with our Literacy M.A.P. activities throughout the remainder of the year. Below are three links that will provide support as they review/learn the 70 graphemes. Click on the links below to open:
Review graphemes 1 to 26:
*We talked briefly about how to practice graphemes at home by playing games at the end of the day. We will talk about it in class tomorrow so that you will be able to teach your parents.
Scholastic Orders: An order form was sent home today with your child. You are not at all required to buy from Scholastic as there are many options to purchase and/or view books online. However, if your child would like to order something from the Lucky order form, please enclose payment in the form of a cheque payable to Scholastic Canada and send it to school by Friday, October 8, 2010.
Important Dates: This weekend is Thanksgiving. There will be no school for students on Monday, October 11 and Tuesday, October 12, 2010.
