This Week

Pink Shirt Day 
The Grade 3 Students are going to be hosting the Pink Shirt Day Assembly! You are invited to join us on February 26th at 2:00 pm in the gym. We will be singing songs, reciting poetry and celebrating kindness! We hope to see you there and remember to wear your PINK Shirt that day!

100's Day
Our 100's Day was so much fun! We wrote about what we would be like, look like, and what we would do when we are 100 years old. We made an art piece of ourselves as 100 year olds. They are hanging up on our boards and we are so excited for you to see them at our upcoming student lead conferences in March! 







In math, we are continuing to work on addition facts, word problems with addition, and double facts. We know that when we are adding two numbers together like 6+2=  or 2+6= we should take the bigger number, hold it in our heads, and use the other number to count on that many times.

 Here is a song about double facts that we sing in class! Have your child sing it to you :) 
Doubles Addition Facts

We are continuing to become build our writing skills. Today we looked back at our work from yesterday, and "edited" it. This is what we looked for:

Is my work neat?
Can I read my work to the teacher?
Do I have finger spaces?
Do I have sticky letters?
Do I have a capital letter where I should?
Do I have punctuation where I should?
Does it make sense?

Here is a writing checklist we use in class:

What is perseverance?

Here is our first 5 words from our new sight word list! This week's words are: do all under on at This is our poem of the week: This week we are talking all about perseverance. Our poem says "I think I can"! This is a positive mindset that we are trying learn to say to ourselves even when things are hard. We listened to a story called "How to catch a star" which is about a boy who loved stars and wished he could catch his own. We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...

We have been really good sight word detectives and finding them hidden in other words.  Please click on the poem above and ask me to find the sight words this wee: but, so, went. I am also using the strategy Eagle Eye (looking at pictures for clues) to decode words. Ask me to tell you which word says "Christmas Tree, Reindeer, Santa, Candy Cane." We enjoyed some Festive Singing in the gym today and are working on a story map for the story "The Gingerbread Man". Today we learned what the word characters mean. There are 7 characters in the story we listened to today. Ask me to tell yo...
