Thank you so much to all 3A parents for sending in delicious goodies for our potluck today! The students had a feast. Patricia's quote was, "The best part of my day was trying something new!"
A reminder to students that tomorrow is the last of day school before Winter Break. We will be having a holiday sing-a-long in the gym with the whole school. It is once again pajama day for those who would like to participate.
Any students who did not get to present their "I am The Teacher" speeches may present tomorrow.
Thank you and have a wonderful night!

December News
December Curriculum
Literacy
Reading: Students are extending their understanding by connecting ideas to their own knowledge and experience and to the world around them. Students are reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts about kindness. Ask your child about our class "Kindness Project" and the helping hands that are posted around our classroom. 3A's goal is to do some good deeds every day until our classroom is full of "helping hands." So far, I am delighted and moved by the wonderful good deeds 3A students have accomplished. Great job making connections to your reading and taking action 3A!
3A's First Good Deed - Cleaning our School Yard!
Students should be reading daily each night. Books are available from our school library and our classroom library. I also encourage the kids to read a variety of genres such as magazines, comics and newspapers. Parents might consider ordering a subscription to Sports Illustrated for Kids, National Geographic for Kids or Time for Kids as a Christmas gift for your child. It is important that the kids are exposed to fiction and non-fiction texts.
I am the Teacher Project: An outline has been sent home for your child's first oral presentation. This is not a research presentation. The goal of this project is to develop effective oral communication skills by allowing the first presentation of the year to be on a topic which each student feels confident about.
Writing: Our focus this month will be paragraph writing and writing friendly letters.
Technology: Students are taking turns listening to reading on the computer each day. If possible, please send a pair of inexpensive ear phones that your child can use during "Listening to Reading" time. Students are also taking turns creating digital stories on my iPad. Be sure to check in each week to see what our young "directors" are creating.
Aidan, McKenna and Katelyn's Video
Health/Media Literacy: Students will continue to learn about the Canada Food Guide and Healthy eating. They will also start working on their Healthy Eating commercials.
Math: We will continue with our unit on Geometry and will have a test near the end of next week. Students will focus on: right, acute and obtuse angles
sorting 2-D shapes by sides and angles
sorting 3-D shapes by edges, vertices and faces
We will then start a brief "Place Value" unit until Christmas Holidays.
Social Studies: We are nearing the end of our unit on Communities. In lieu of a test, students will be researching a city of their choice. They will learn how to use a variety of data bases to research and read information. Students will also create a diorama of their chosen city. All work will be completed at school under my guidance so I can assess each student's progress.
Students of the month:
Congratulations to our very responsible students of the month for October!
Congratulations to our very respectful students of the month for November!
Holiday concert: This year's concert is on Wednesday, December 12 from 11:00 - 12:00. Please note that there will only be a daytime performance this year. If you are able to, please come and hear your child sing.
Potluck and Holiday celebration: The students have expressed an interest in having a potluck luncheon before the Winter Break. I would like to have the luncheon on Thursday, December 20th. I will send a note home closer to the date and you can indicate if you would like to send a dish for your child to share. I still can't believe we are almost at Winter Break!
As always, please write in the agenda or contact me at the school if you have any questions or concerns about your child's education. I will do my best to help.
Thanks and take care!
