Clothing Check!
Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Another reminder to make sure that the ski pants and coats that you are wearing home are your own. Black is a popular colour and it seems that some of us are wearing other students' clothing home by accident.
Colin B. is missing his black snow pants. They are labeled on the inside. If you've worn them home by mistake, please return them to school tomorrow. Thank you.
Please ensure you are reading each night for 20 to 25 minutes. Also, please complete your Literacy MAP homework to prepare for your spelling test on Friday.
A school assembly is scheduled for tomorrow at 1 pm in the Grand Hall. All parents are welcome to attend. It will be approximately 30 minutes in duration.
All fun lunch forms are due tomorrow. If you would like to participate, your form must be returned by this date.
Have a great night, Stay warm.

Literacy MAP Homework
Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Please remember to complete your Literacy MAP homework. Many of you are forgetting your work at school. By now you should realize that you will have homework Monday to Thursday. Fridays are your spelling tests and no homework is usually assigned on weekends.
Again, please read over the Winter Poem we will be sharing at the assembly on Thursday.
We had outdoor recess today. However, we do not know how the weather will be tomorrow. Please remember to dress warmly.
Have a great night. See you tomorrow.

Thursday's Agenda
Dear Grade 3' & Parents,
The virtue of the month is Commitment.
In class we have been talking about 'finishing what you start with your best effort and attitude.'
Today we read the book 'The Master's Apprentice,' where Marco keeps his promise to his father even when it was very challenging. Share with your parents, your thoughts on the meaning of commitment.
Please spend time reading tonight. You can also show your parents how to play the 'Mystery Number' game we have been playing in class - where they have to find the numbers that fit into the boxes.
Tonight you are bringing home Literacy MAP homework. Please remember to complete your homework by practicing a line of each word and a sentence below that uses the word. Remember, each line should have the word written 4 or 5 times with proper markings.
Please take some time tonight to practice reading out loud the below poem. We will be practicing reading out loud the poem in preparation for our Assembly.
White Snow Bright Snow
by Alvin Tresselt
Softly, gently in the secret night,
Down from the North came the quiet white.
Drifting, sifting, silent flight,
Softly, gently, in the secret night.
White snow, bright snow, smooth and deep.
Light snow, night snow, quiet as sleep.
Down, down, without a sound;
Down, down, to the frozen ground.
Have a great night. See you tomorrow.
