Weekly Update for May 4-8th

Dear Grade 3 Families,

The warm weather has finally arrived! My family tried to spend as much time outdoors as possible this weekend.

Thank you for joining us for our Google Meet last week. This week’s meeting will be on Wednesday, May 6th at 2:00pm. I will send the invite to join to the student's emails a few minutes before the start of the meeting.

The Grade 3 team has put together the video of us going on our 1km walk. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun walking, biking, skateboarding and scootering! It took most of us about 12 minutes to walk 1km (or 1000 meters).

The video is linked to this weeks workspace at the top.

Please note: if we've forgotten any of your pictures, just send me a quick note and I can add it in! If this happens, I will send a new link to our video.

Our Workspace for next week will be posted this evening. The focus this week for language is using predictions when reading, and grammar. In math, we will continue with learning about area and introduce transformational geography (flips, turns, and slides).  If you have any questions or challenges when completing these tasks, please send me an email and I’m happy to help in any way that I can. Mme. Caminiti also worked very hard on an amazing video about le printemps - check it out!

Also, this upcoming week is Catholic Education Week. The theme for this week is Igniting Hope.  See the flyer for the week on the top of the workspace for details about how you can celebrate with your family at home. I have also linked each task separately on each day. New this week is also a SEL (social-emotional learning) monthly calendar of fun activities that the students can participate in if they wish.

One more note - I sent an email late last week about Kid Messenger. Feel free to add your child's code onto that doc if you would like them to be able to chat with their classmates. Again, this is entirely optional and not a board sanctioned site - simply something the kids were asking about.

Thank you for your continued support. Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Summers
