Hi everyone: We are into our last week of May ( hard to believe!). Students were treated to an ice cream sundae and play time on Friday afternoon. They worked very hard on their assessments and we wanted to celebrate being done.

**To help your child, you can review operations with them- addition, subtraction, and multiplication and some division. **We are doing lots of review and we are finishing our geometry unit as well. Mass of objects is our final outcome for later this week.

Homework:

• Read and Record
• Math Sheet-naming solids and polygons
• Spelling- comparatives ( -er,est words) ; we will be doing sentences in class so no word homework this week.

**Note– I haven’t heard from any parents to volunteer at our end of the year Field trip on June 22nd. If you plan on volunteering, I will need to know asap. Criminal Record checks must be up to date as well. **

Have a great week:

Hi everyone. The weather is warming up, and grade 3 are gearing up for new things! We have a special guest presenter, Brody Webster,  coming to our class on Tuesday afternoon ( May 1) to speak about culture in Kenya and then we will compare it to PEI.

We are reviewing Math outcomes and wrapping up our fraction unit.

Reading samples in fiction and non-fiction are completed and students are getting feedback on answering questions. They are learning how to do it. Great effort so far from 3C. Mrs. L. is proud of their hard work!

No classes on Friday, May 4th due to teacher meetings across the province.

Homework this week:

• Read and record-15min. of good reading and answering your questions!
• math-study ladder on fractions
• word choice for Spelling- try to do different activities; not the same one each week as it get repetitive for your child. Our focus is words that use a vowel and an ‘r’ sound at the beginning middle and end of 1 and 2 syllable words.
• Library books are overdue for some students-get them in please. 🙂

Have a great week everyone!
