Friday, January 24th, 2020

We are feeling thankful for a week of lovely weather! It’s great seeing the kids outside, breathing fresh air, and playing with their friends. We also had a fantastic first CAD day!

In Math, we did a quiz at the beginning of the week, and continued to work on skip counting strategies. We have a quiz and test next week, and then move into more multiplication. Please practice your skip counting facts over the weekend.

In Literacy, we worked with our reading groups, got to write down a fairy tale we knew best, and also worked with our sight words in a variety of ways. On Friday, we did a reading test called Dibels. Looking forward to doing more folktale work next week.

In Science, we started our Hearing and Sound Centers! It’s a lot of fun getting our hands on tools that make so many interesting noises. Check out this fun sound website: https://www.incredibox.com/demo/!

For families who ordered Scholastic, thank you so much!! Your commitment to reading has resulted in almost $300 of resources for the grade 3 team this year!

Sandstone MacEwan Community Association has been collecting used skates for kids in the community who cannot afford to skate. If you are a family who would like to receive or who would like to donate skates, please contact info@sandstomemacewan.com.  As well, if you are interested, there is a family willing to do some sharpening and some intro lessons! What a great opportunity!
