October Fun!
We have been very busy this month in Grade Three. We have enjoyed a wonderful field trip to the Fluvarium. We thank all parent volunteers who were able to attend. We collected food for the food drive and completed the Terry Fox Walk around Kenny's Pond.
Next week is Halloween and we have been doing many activities around this theme. Soon we will be sharing our very first Spooky Stories written in English. The students are very excited! In the afternoon session of October 31st, the students will be having a costume parade and small party in our classroom. Please send costumes with your child to change into on the lunch break. We ask that each child bring a small personal snack for the party. If anyone is interested in making treats, please let us know, so as not to have any waste.
Merci,
Colleen & Tracy :)

February Updates
It's been a busy month! With storm closures and such, we finally pulled off the much delayed Valentine celebration. A special thank you to all for sending cards, gifts and class treats. As well, we would like to thank you for providing us with coffee, muffins and lunch during Teacher Appreciation week.
Students have written there most recent Unit Quiz in Math. You should be really proud of them as this is a new adventure for them in Grade Three! Please sign and return the quiz at your earliest convenience.

This will certainly assist in making them more confident and successful. This week we will be sending home the four subtraction strategies for review. We ask that you do the first two strategies this week, and the last two next week, as we are still working on the last two in class this week.
In Science we are currently working on our Unit on Forces. stayed tuned for upcoming assessment in the next few weeks on this Unit. You will see a homework message to review notes on this Unit, as the Unit progresses.
We have our upcoming Auction on April 8th, it's a great fundraiser and provides our school with much needed materials to support our curriculum. We will let you know when tickets become available.
