Math skills to practise at home

The grade 3 math program is very challenging. Problem solving, analyzing information and interpreting information form the majority of what we do. There are computation skills that are assumed and we will not have time to go back and reteach them. So, at home, you can work on +/- facts to 20 and counting by 2, 5, 10 and 25. This will help your child immensely. Thankyou for your support at home.

Great Terry Fox Run

We had a great Terry Fox run today. Thankyou to everyone who sent in toonies (we will collect them Friday too). Also thanks to everyone who volunteered to man the route so that the students were safe.

Great First Week !!

Well, we have made through our first week!! The students are settling in nicely to new routines and expectations. Thanks to everyone who has sent in the numerous monies and forms that are due. To recap, I should have received money for the planner and photos as well as these forms: health form, permission to photograph, computer use form and Harvest Fresh ( if you order this). In addition I invited every parent to write a short note about their child with any info you think I should know as well as your hopes and expectations for your child. We will be starting Take Home Reading within the next week or so. Remember to check the Blog often. Feel free to use the planner or call me at the school if you have any questions or concerns.
