Greetings Parents,
We hope everyone had a wonderful LONG weekend. And
guess what… It’s already Thursday! We have a very short week ahead of us. Today
we are all going outside to celebrate some outdoor education. We will be
heading to the grass field and the new pond to do some art and some poetry (our
new writing unit in grade 3). Tomorrow (Friday) is our Swim Carnival. We will
be Wet n Wild on Friday morning!
Save the date: On Tuesday, June 11th from
8:15-9:15 a.m., Grade Three will host a Poetry Parent Share. We look forward to
seeing you then!

Reading
This week students will continue to explore all the different types of
poems. We will investigate famous poets as well as student poetry from around
the world. Students will continue to read poems and notice the way the
author’s craft their poems and try out those moves in their own poems.
|
|
Writing
Students will write poems trying a few different ways of breaking up
their lines, choosing where they put words and how they use white space.
|
|
Math
Students will continue to work on fractions. Students will be
comparing fractions using the greater than and less than signs, < = >.
They will continue to work on ways to recognize and show that equivalent
fractions have the same size, though not necessarily the same shape.
|
|
Science
Students will continue to
investigate the Maglev Train and how unbalanced forces cause the train to
come down. The students loved making the paper clips float in t mid air and
then trying to make them move WITHOUT touching them. Students will continue
to investigate and conduct trials to look at magnetic force and distance.

Dear
Grade 3 Parents,
In
our new unit of Poetry, we want to share, value and learn from you! Please
share your favorite poem (from your country, any language would do) into a new
slide from our class slideshow (Google slides) that we are sharing with you.
Copy/paste or type the poem and add a photo that connects with this poem. It
can be a poem from your childhood, your child's favorite poem, a current poem,
a nursery rhyme, or song. Anything that represents your family!
Please
choose a poem with your child so that you can read it together and talk about
its meaning to your family before he/she shares with the class.
Students
will take turns in class to share them, appreciate them and find connections
with other countries and languages.
The
Grade 3 Team
No HOME LEARNING THIS WEEK!
Except
Remember: Reading is just what we do. It is expected each night.
