Animal Research

The students are hard at work researching their chosen animal! The purpose of this research is to inform them of the needs of the animal so that they can design and build a model of an enclosure for them. The students are really excited about this project! They have 5 main categories that they are focusing their research around: environment, feeding, care, enrichment, and enclosure design. Each of these categories have more specific items for the students to consider while doing their research. We are very excited to see what the students come up with for their animals! 

Math

We are almost done working with multiplication! The students have done an amazing job learning the strategies we have worked on! Encourage your child to show you the different strategies! (Groups Of, Arrays, Repeated Addition, and Line Multiplication). We are starting division on Monday! 

Writing

Story writing has taken over our writing time! The students are learning to use nouns, verbs, and adjectives to create descriptive pieces. They are working toward writing stories of their own about their chosen animal. 

Field Studies

We have a field study on Wednesday. If you have not returned your child's form please return it by Monday. 

New field study forms are coming home today. Please return them by Friday March 6th. We also need one more volunteer for that field study! 

Science Home Journal

This weeks entry is: Create a hypothesis about the following question. Be sure to use the if, then, because method we have talked about in class. Does ice melt faster in different liquids? 

Our goal with this is to have the students focus on the hypothesis, which we have done a lot of work with in class. Have fun testing with different liquids! 


Have a great weekend! :)

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   Thank you to  all  our parents and caregivers for your continued support and encouragement as we plan, review, meet and assess our students.  It is just as much a learning curve for you as it has been for us and our students. We wouldn’t be able to be as successful as we are without you. The grade three teachers  appreciate the feedback received from parents through the survey and are continuing to modify and enhance our planning to make things easier for everyone.  The  survey  is  still available for those  who would still like to contribute their feedback.   It   should take only a few moments.    Link to  s urvey:   Grade 3 Parent Feed Back Survey     Week  7  Learning Plan:     Week 7 Learning Plan Link     Reminders:     Monday:  Meet up 1pm – Go through the week’s assignmen...

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   This is a very sad week for us as this will be the last week where we see all of your wonderful faces on the google meet ups,  we will be reading t he last Friday letter you wrote to us and of course  watching  the  talent show to share your passions.  All the grade three teachers are sad to see the year come to an end.  On that note, we will be changing the time of the meet up this coming Friday. Instead of meeting at 1pm, we will be meeting at 9am. This will allow for siblings to watch the grade 4 celebration and be done b efore noon. Please make not e  of that in your calendar so your child does not miss out.    In closing, w e would like to share some  housekeeping  items with you to keep you informed.    Picking up items  – Mr. Laidlaw will have sent  a  time  of when and  where you can pick up the rest of your child’s learning items.
