Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather we experienced this past weekend. We have a busy  days ahead of us. French - Our theme over the next few weeks will be about Spring. I am proud to say that students are begining to progress from E to F books. Let's keep up the good work. On Thursday, students will independently be writing in their journals about the book they have read at home, and continue with our writing trait of the month which happens to be conventions i.e. capitalization, punctuation, etc. Math - I offered tutoting today at lunch seeing that there is NO school for students on Friday.  We will be finishing up the unit and reviewing tomorrow. I plan on having our quiz on Thursday. You will notice as well that today's entry and exit question was placed in your child's reading bag. This will occur daily and give you and idea what we have gone over in class. Feel free to offer more example/support and home. Please write if you have any questions. Do not be concerned about the 3 digit addition and subtraction questions in their duo-tangs. Feel free to complete if you choose, but those sheets were placed as supplementary if we had time to complete them. Time is moving quickly, and our next unit will focus on fractions. Just a note that in grade 3 the focus is on adding and subtracting 2 digits.  In social studies, we will also be finishing up our unit on New Brunswick this week. Next week, we will move on to Health and Wellness followed by "Sturctures and Materials" in Science. In regards to science, we will be examining structures, how they are built and determining which materials work best to build certain types of structures. Students will explore different shapes and forms that make up natural and human built structures. In order to accomplish this, I require your help. Below you will find a list of materials that we will utilize in order to build structures in class. If possible, I am asking if you could collect and send any of the materials listed below. I have already began to gather some material. It would be greatly appreciated and certainly put it to good use. Materials list: Straws Popsicle sticks Toothpicks Newspaper Modelling clay Tape Once again thank you for your help!   ***Reminders*** Wenesday - popcorn Thursday - library Friday - No school
