Monday November 4/13
We continue to work on measurement - time. We are relating day to week, week to month, month to year. With each day we practice, we are becoming more comfortable describing years in months and weeks!
We continue to uncover the features of non-fiction texts. This is a process, so THR will be done at school this week as well. I want to ensure that the group is able to do their THR with minimal help from home. Thank you for your continued support! They are recognizing fiction text features with ease! With practice, things are really happening!
Our field trip to John R. Homestead is on this Thursday. Please send in the filled out permission form and $9.00. We will be attending rain or shine! Most activities will be conducted under a covered area, but we will be outdoors. Please come dressed in layers, as we will be outside for most of the day! This will be an exciting trip for the grade 3's to see what we've been reading about come alive!
Have a great night everyone!

Happy Halloween!!!!
Due to the weather today, we were unable to visit the library.
Unfortunately, the student's books are now overdue, and will have to be returned independently.
I wish everyone a spooktacular night tonight!
Be safe and have fun!

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!

Recap of weekending October 25/13
This week 3B wrapped up the first math unit! This was a tough unit, but we all got through it! We are also discoverng quite a bit about early settlers and how they lived. We were quite surprised to find out that some log cabins were smaller (much smaller) than our classroom! The group is remembering how to begin and end sentences properly and this week we learned that little words like and, or, and but give our sentences variety and different lengths. This will be very helpful once we start writing paragraphs!
This weekend...
Ericka and Matthew will be going to a Halloween party.
It's a BIG move for Erin.
We're sending a huge good luck to Garrett for his football playoff game, and good luck Ethan and Josh T. against Amherstburg!
Carlee is having a family birthday dinner for her Grand-dad.
Whatever you're doing this weekend 3B; have a great time, and tell me all about it on Monday!
Have a great weekend folks!

Thursday Oct 17/13
Tonight 3B will continue to work on rounding to the nearest ten and reasons pioneers came to the new land in social studies.
THR will be due on Monday and we have added to it. 3B is asked to continue working on the features of a fiction text and also include one connection to the text. Today the group did great work making connections to someone being a good friend, so I can't wait to read their connections on Monday night!
Our note today on rounding step!
