Monday September 23

Last Thursday our class had a very deep conversation about what is working and not working in our class. Students shared that morning literacy time is working well, exploration time is enjoyed and class meetings are appreciated. Students voiced concerns about noise level and when we had exploration time (right after lunch). In addition, students gave suggestions on how to improve and make changes in our classroom. Through this process, it was shown how much students appreciated having their voices heard and ideas shared to make change within their own classroom. Ask your child how they voice their opinions during class meetings and how it may have created change in our room or how they hope to make change.

Today in class, we began our exploration of buildings in other parts of the world, specifically Peru. To begin this exploration we searched images of "homes in Peru" and started to list characteristics of what we saw. It was brought to our attention by Mr. Emery when he visited our class that we may have to look not just at the pictures, but the captions of the pictures. Did you know there is a town called Peru in the the United States? We not only learned that the buildings in Peru look different than the buildings here, but we need to be mindful of how we search up information on the internet and how to confirm that the information is indeed what we are looking for. Ask your child, what can we do to ensure that the information we are looking at on the world wide web is 'right' for what we are looking for.

Reminders
Field study on Wednesday. Please check the weather and dress accordingly. We will be outside the entire time.

Welcome to the 2019 – 2020 school year!   I would like to take the time to introduce myself, Denean Langlois. I will be your child’s grade 3 teacher.

Welcome to Online Learning

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s):       Thank you for your patience as we work through some necessary planning in preparation for resuming structured learning opportunities for your child. I understand there has been a lot of uncertainty about what learning is going to look like moving forward. I can assure you that we are going to work on key learning outcomes at-home within the parameters established by the province and CBE.       To help me understand your family’s access to technology, can you please provide responses to the following three questions:   §    Does your child have access to a computer, laptop, iPad/tablet, smart phone? If so which types of technology might be accessible?    §    Does your child have access to the Internet?   §    Is your only option a paper-based education for your child?       While the lessons I will be providing are aimed to minimize technology, there will still be times where we will need to rely on technology as

Week 5

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   We hope everyone is doing well. The grade 3 teachers have been reviewing the work students have been handing in  this past week.  We are pleased with the work we have been seeing and are hoping that the changes  we have made to the structure of our classrooms  have made  schoolwork  easier for your family.    Please ensure that when your child is submitting an  assignment,  they click the submit button on the top  right-hand  corner of the screen. This ensures that their teacher knows the assignment has been  completed!              On a side note, please know we appreciate all the work our families are doing at home with the students. We understand every family has their own complexities at home and everyone is trying their best. We are here for all of you, to help you through this new type of learning. Please reach out if there is  anything  we can so to support you.     Below you will find a link to a PDF version of the Online l
