Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Today we had another chance to practice making friendship bracelets using yarn. Many of you showed great endurance and listened well to make improvements. However, it continued to be frustrating for some of you as you allowed yourself to get easily frustrated with the process of learning. Remember, not all things are easy to do and take time to learn.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year. If you would like, you may wear traditional dress to celebrate this day. However, if you do not want to, please do not feel that you need to.
Please take time to read your new library books tonight. So many of you have shown a lot of growth as readers and writers from being faithful in your home reading.
Enjoy your night.
Ms. Toy

Back to School
Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Welcome back after a long weekend. It took a bit of reminding today to get you back into routines. Our virtue of the month is Friendliness. Have a conversation tonight with your parents about what it means to you. We will share our ideas tomorrow in class.
Glee club started today at lunch. Please remember to refocus yourselves when arriving back to class. I know that you are excited to participate in such a fun and exhilarating experience. Please know that I too am excited for you but I also need you to be "on" when learning in the classroom.
Hockey club starts on Monday for Grade 3's.
No Literacy MAP homework this week. Please continue to read and/or finish your books as they are due tomorrow. Remember to bring them back to school so you can sign out new ones.
Share with your parents, your first attempt at making Friendship Bracelets today.
See you tomorrow.

Today was the last day of Leveled Learning. The next round starts February 3, 2011. There will be no Literacy MAP homework until this time.
Please remember to read each night. It is very important for your growth as a reader and writer.
Again, a reminder that there is no school on Monday for students.
Floor Hockey and Glee Club forms are due tomorrow. Please remember to have Mom or Dad complete them if you are interested in joining these clubs. Please keep in mind that if you choose to participate in clubs this year that you need strong commitment to go to each meeting. No late forms will be accepted.

Working on Listening
Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Today we had a desk exchange. We talked about how we know when were are learning our best and when we know improvements need to be made. Most of you have shown so much growth in becoming more aware of how you learn best. However, a few of you continue to require quite a bit of support in focussing and showing commitment in completing daily tasks. Remember that sitting with friends only works when you are both focused on doing your best.
Monday, January 31, 2011 is a PD Day. No school for students.
Please continue to read your books and complete Literacy MAP homework. All grade 3 teachers appreciate the hard work and commitment that many of you show in completing work assigned.
Library exchange is tomorrow morning. Please remember to come to school with your books.
Share with your parents the new routine in how we have organized our book bags and coats. Also share with them the contest about the pencils (hint: a pencil of 10 cm or greater).
Have a great night.

Another Monday!
Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Please ensure you are getting enough sleep at night. Many of you are very tired during the day and are having difficulties focusing. Today was a day where you could have practiced better listening skills.
We will continue cleaning up our room tomorrow. It is a job that will take many hands to get done.
Please read tonight and ensure you are completing your Literacy MAP homework. Spelling tests are scheduled for Thursday morning in all groups.
Have a great night.

Enjoy your Weekend!
Dear Grade 3's & Parents,
Spend time enjoying time with your families and friends this weekend. It's been a tough week and a half of being indoors. Take time to play outside this weekend as the weather should cooperate.
Just a reminder to the few of you who have yet to hand in field trip forms. Please return them by Monday as they are already overdue.
Please take time to read this weekend as well.
Have a fantastic weekend.
