Our grade 3 students are starting to recognize that success goes hand in hand with organization. Many students are taking advantage of the cold weather and staying in at least once/week to clean out their desks and organize their notebooks. Please read the following tips to help your child get organized.

10 Ways to Help Your Child Get Organized
Developing good organizational skills is a key
ingredient for success in school and in life. Although some people are by
nature more organized than others, anyone can put routines and systems in place
to help a child "get it together." Here is a list of strategies that you can use to
help your child get — and keep — her life under control.
1. Use checklists.
Help
your child get into the habit of keeping a "to-do" list. Use
checklists to post assignments, household chores, and reminders about what
materials to bring to class.
2. Organize homework assignments.
Before
beginning a homework session, encourage your child to number assignments in the
order in which they should be done. She should start with one that's not too
long or difficult, but avoid saving the longest or hardest assignments for
last.
3. Designate a study space.
Your
child should study in the same place every night. This doesn't have to be a
bedroom, but it should be a quiet place with few distractions. All school
supplies and materials should be nearby.
4. Set a designated study time.
Your
child should know that a certain time every day is reserved for studying and
doing homework. The best time is usually not right after school — most children
benefit from time to unwind first.
Even if she doesn't have homework, the reserved time should be used to review
the day's lessons, read for pleasure, or work on an upcoming project.
5. Keep organized notebooks.
Help
your child keep track of papers by organizing them in a binder or notebook.
This will help him review the material for each day's classes and to organize
the material later to prepare for tests and quizzes.
6. Conduct a weekly cleanup.
Encourage
your child to sort through book bags and notebooks on a weekly basis. Old tests
and papers should be organized and kept in a separate file at home.
7. Create a household schedule.
Try
to establish and stick to a regular dinnertime and a regular bedtime. This will
help your child fall into a pattern at home. Children with a regular bedtime go
to school well-rested. Try to limit television-watching and computer play to
specific periods of time during the day.
8. Keep a master calendar.
Keep
a large, wall-sized calendar for the household, listing the family's
commitments, schedules for extracurricular activities, days off from school,
and major events at home and at school.
9. Prepare for the day ahead.
Before
your child goes to bed, he should pack schoolwork and books in a book bag. The
next day's clothes should be laid out with shoes, socks, and accessories. This
will cut down on morning confusion and allow your child to prepare quickly for
the day ahead.
10. Provide needed support while your child is
learning to become more organized.
Help your child develop
organizational skills by photocopying checklists and schedules and taping them
to the refrigerator. Most
important, set a good example.

Celebrations
On Friday, our school celebrated French Canadian Culture with a Carnaval. We were joined by Bonhomme Carnaval himself! The students enjoyed a fun day of games, songs and treats. Congratulations to our very own 3A Carnaval Queen pictured below with Bonhomme. What a wonderful way to celebrate one of the cultures that defines Canada!
This past week, my family and I celebrated Chinese New Year and we made this video to share.
Chinese New Year with the Allison Family
The children also took some time to write about their own family traditions and share with the class. I think it is fantastic that we can learn about so many traditions here in Canada! I wish you all a wonderful Family Day weekend. No matter how you plan to celebrate - I hope it is with the ones you love.
Happy Family Day to my 3A students and families!
Mrs. Allison

Today was Valentine's Day and we got a lot of candy and cookies. We also got to play 4 corners at recess. And also at recess we got to play bump. Today we had Science and we got to make parachutes and Mrs. Allison launched some. We learned that the bigger parachutes fall slower and the small parachutes fall faster.
