Agenda notes Oct 30/13

We continue to work on measuring time. The grade threes are focusing on using analogue clocks and refining their telling time skills. This can be easily practiced at home by asking "What time is it"?
We are still working on our times tables. We are working on the 3 and 4 tables. Continue to practice!

3B's connections while reading are getting much thicker and more meaningful. During guided reading groups this week, we are orally discussing our connections to stories like "Every Friday", "Photo Kid", and "Ten Thousand Buffalo on the Roof".
Paragraphs, paragraphs! We are focusing on topic sentences this week, and so far we are moving along nicely!

Today 3B started their research assignment on a First Nation tribe from the Algonquian or Iroquoian group. They research will include: food, homes, clothing, and travel. If you'd like to work on this at home, you may check out Mr. Giannetti's web page, and follow the tools to go instructions! We are very excited for this, as the class will be presenting this in a power point presentation!

I want to thank all our grade 3 students and their families who were part of this year's cross country team! This is the first time these students were part of a school team function and they were awesome! I was very proud of how well everyone ran and how well we placed! Thank you everyone and see you out there running next year!

Reminder that we will be visiting Remington Park Library to return and take out some new books. Please have books in, so that we can return them!

Have a wonderful night!
