March 6th Update

Friday, March 6th 2020

It’s hard to believe that March is here! This second term is flying by so quickly!

Just a reminder that Scholastic orders are due on Monday - if you want those books to arrive before Spring Break! 

Thank you parents for your wonderful support in helping the grade 3s get materials and build their musical instruments. They had a wonderful time and really enjoyed sharing them with their classmates.

In Math we continued our division practice - connecting division problems to equal groups of repeated addition. There will be a quiz on Monday! Make sure your child is practicing so they will recognize whether a question is asking how many sets there are, or how many dots in each set! Here’s some questions from the quiz:

Our Teacher’s Pet workshop is on Monday! Please make sure you have paid for the program - $16. You can easily check by logging into your PowerSchool account. 

We started reading Matilda this week! It’s one of my favourite books from when I was a grade 3 student, and I love sharing it every year with my class. If you read it as a child, this could be a great discussion for you and your child to share! 

Just a note about the next Hot Lunch - Wok Box orders are due in over Spring Break, so I would log in before that to order. (I know I would forget otherwise 😃) And Alberta Health Services has released a letter about the CoronaVirus (COVID-19). You can read it here.
