VOLUNTEERS: PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO A SCHOOL ASSEMBLY, OUR PUMPKIN DAY WILL BEGIN AS PLANNED FIRST THING FRIDAY MORNING BUT WILL CONTINUE THIRD BLOCK INSTEAD OF SECOND BLOCK. WE WILL NEED VOLUNTEERS ONLY FOR THE FIRST BLOCK. DON'T DRESS FANCY FOR THIS EVENT!
In Religion the Grade 3s will learn of St. Vincent and how this poor boy grew up to care for others in spite of his falling into the hands of pirates! Grade 4s continue to explore their bibles through scavenger hunts. Reinforce this by asking your child to look up a book, chapter and verse John 2:4 . In Math the Grade 3s are developing skills at using number patterns to add and subtract. Give your son or daughter similar problems to those on the practice sheets in his or her duotang. The grade 3 and 4 Science units join as we discuss erosion and weathering, with the grade 4s problems solving situations related to it. We continue listening to The Magical Land of Staff, a story of "note" people that teach through musical adventures the notes and their values. The Super Three Fours have already learned how to play a whole, half, quarter and eighth note. Grade 3s knowledge of good and poor food choices are now being applied to how they affect their teeth and how teeth must be cared for. The key nutrients (fats, carbohydrates, proteins...) and how we make choices are being discussed through diet logs and self-assessments in Grade 4 Health. Ask why your Grade 3 child needs to brush and floss before bed (and not before a meal) or why your child is choosing to eat a certain snack at a certain time (bored, TV, sweet, habit...). This week our Language study procedural texts ("How to Chew Gum") got displayed with Art works - Modigliani portraits blowing 3D bubbles (pictures coming soon!). We are looking forward to enjoying the student's disgusting recipes which will be presented throughout the week. Take a walk down the hallway next time your around the school to view them!
