Good morning grade 3 families 🌞

I hope you enjoyed the sunshine over the weekend and managed to get outside. 

As you will have seen, this weeks work was posted on Friday afternoon. Please note that this is for you to be able to plan your week ahead, not to complete the work on your weekend. 

Students have gotten very good at handing in their work using the Google Classroom platform. If you are still having trouble with this, the link with a  video explaining how to do so can still be found under Classwork.

In addition, I have added links to the music and gym blogs, along with an optional lesson with Mr. Sandberg with some fun coding activities. 

Have a fantastic week everyone! I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday morning 😊

Hello Parents and Students!

Hello Parents!

We are thinking about each of your families during this time and hope that everyone is safe and healthy. Today, we wanted to share some learning activities that you can do at home with your children. Many of these activities can be completed independently. Please continue to check the blog, school messengers, and the news daily for updates. 

Thank you for your patience and support. 

Grade 3 Teachers

Math

• Please encourage your child to practice skip counting by 2, 3, 5, 10 and 25. Starting at any given number counting forwards and backwards.
• You can make this a game. For example, “I’m starting at 3, counting forward by 2s. Will I say the number 17?” 
• Practice basic math facts through playing card games
• You can make this a game of WAR! Pick your operation (adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing), each player chooses a card at the same time and you race to say the answer. The quickest response takes the cards

Reading

Writing

Get creative, write a story using this story prompt. 

Looking down from the Eiffel Tower you notice your bright yellow school bus is pulling away. You wave your arms frantically and scream at the top of your lungs. Sadly you realize you are stranded 81 stories above the ground and you have not learned any French yet.

We would love to read your writing! If you’d like, please share your story with your teacher on google docs! If you require assistance with passwords to access online resources, please feel free to email your teacher.💛💛💛
