Wednesday September 18

Next week the grade threes are going on their first field study. In preparation for this field study we have been working on journaling. This is an independent activity where students have a small task that they independently work on. The tasks vary from sketching, asking questions and thinking about what is around them. Today in the afternoon, we went outside to practice this skill. Each student found a spot away from another and worked on their task. In their journals, students were asked to look around and record what they saw, what they thought about and new wonderings. Many things were recorded to what they saw, many students could write about what they were thinking and some students were able to think of wonderings. Ask your child what they wrote about.



Reminders:
- Early dismissal tomorrow for parent teacher interviews
- Field study forms need to be handed in
- We still need 2 volunteers to participate in the field study next Wednesday. Please email the teacher if you are able to support

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. This year we will be working in room 7.   I will be waiting outside to meet you and your child Tuesday morning. I will be standing by the basketball hoops carrying a clipboard with my name on it to make it easier for you. Students will be using the north doors when they enter and exit the school at all times.   I would like to remind you of our school hours: 8:55am – 3:35pm, with early dismissal Fridays at 12:30pm.    To help your child be successful this year, please consider the following:   Eat a healthy, hearty breakfast   Have a good night’s sleep (go to bed at a reasonable time)   Send a healthy snack for morning flex time and if something is needed in the afternoon   Send indoor running shoes   My blog is in the process of being updated, however once it is active it c

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
