No Spelling Homework Tonight

Dear Grade 3's & Parents,

Apologies for not posting the agenda earlier. I am still at school trying to decorate the gym for our Spring Concert next week.

Spelling
There is no spelling homework tonight as we did not have time today add new words to our list. You will get additional words tomorrow for your test Friday.

Swimming
It was so great to see all of you in the pool today. The excitement and fun that you had showing off your swimming abilities was the highlight of my day. Thank you for showing great manners and for showing great listening skills for your instructors. Remember to have a great sleep tonight.

Share with your parents, how you did today at the pool.

Music - Spring Concert
As reviewed during class time, Mrs. Mann truly needs you to be watchful when she conducts you. She also needs the groups waiting to be quiet and not to talk when she is doing her job. Everyone did a great job today in the performance part of the practice but we do need to show more consideration for Mrs. Mann. She has asked that you sing louder tomorrow.

Thanks for reading the agenda. See you tomorrow.

Water & Ice

Dear Grade 3's & Parents,

Water & Ice
Please share with your parents our discussion about safety and making smart decisions about your play time outside. There are many large puddles on our school property as the ice thaws and refreezes overnight. Please stay away from the water and ice as it is not safe.

Swimming
Our swimming lessons start tomorrow afternoon. We will be in the pool by 1:40 pm and out by 2:20 pm. We will be on the bus to and from for about 15 minutes. Please remember to pack all the items we talked about today. Also, please remember to be considerate and not have others wait for you in the change room. You need to change quickly to be in the pool and out to catch the bus. Also, a reminder not to run on the pool deck as it is slippery.

Spelling 
You chose 2 more words today to practice for your spelling test. Please continue to do your homework and bring your blue book to school everyday.

Math Websites 
Yesterday, I posted a website to help you practice math at home. The website will only allow you between 10 to 15 minutes of use if you do not have an account. However, try it out.

Here are the two websites shown to you today:

ixl math

Glee Club
I am reposting your practice videos again. Please be responsible to look for the videos when you read the agenda as I will not post them for you everyday. Look below for the videos.



Also, remember that you will eat lunch tomorrow at 12:00 pm not your usual time of 11:30 am. 


See you tomorrow.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Dear Grade 3's & Parents,

Parent Teacher conferences are scheduled for tonight and tomorrow morning. There is no school for students on Friday.

Thank you in advance for making an appointment to see me to discuss your child's growth and development.

What we Read Today
Today we read 'Ted' - a story about a boy with an imaginary friend and the troubles he gets into by having an 'imagination.' We will continue working on our imaginary friends next week. Hopefully, we will be able to write a new story using them as our main characters.

Swimming
Swimming begins next week - Wednesday. We will review behavioral expectations and what to pack next week.

Science
We have been waiting to continue our building projects of City of Calgary. Many of you have been away so we will wait until most of you have returned so your groups can work on them together.

Spring Concert
If you have not already done so, please return your order forms by Monday. All performances require a ticket for entry as no tickets will be issued at the door. This will assist in ensuring that all guests have seating for performances.

Math
We are still working on Multiplication. Our focus is to use various ways to solve the same problem. So far, we have 3 ways. We will introduce new ways in the upcoming week.

Have a great night & weekend.

Ms. Toy
