Dear Families,
I hope you had a fun weekend and are ready for another terrific week in grade three! Please make sure we have your correct contact information in the event of an emergency. Thank you for all your support!
What we are learning:
Our
Balanced Literacy
Block, which includes Read to Self – reading good fit books; Work on Writing – letters; and Word Work – individualized spelling program continues.
In Math, we are working on a unit on Addition and Subtraction. Students will be learning mental math strategies, such as: using doubles; making a ten; and zero property. Students need to practice addition and subtraction of two – digit numbers.
In Science, we will be working on a Unit on Invisible Forces.
In Social Studies, we are learning about the Province of New Brunswick.
Information Items/Dates to Remember:
· It is very important that you label your child’s jackets, sweaters, coats, shoes, backpack, etc… to help us get lost items of clothing to their rightful owners! A lost and found box has been set up on the dance floor, so you can check if your child has lost something.
· Please send extra mittens and socks to keep at school if your child needs a dry pair.

Homework
· Each week, your child will be bringing home books at his/her independent reading level (good fit books). Please make time each night to allow your child to read these to you. An important component of strengthening your child’s reading skills is regular home reading practice. Ask your child about what they are reading and have them answer questions.
· For some fun math practice at home with your child, continue to practice addition and subtraction of two–digit numbers. Make sure to visit the Xtra Math site.
· As always if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at school, send a note in your child’s communication bag, or send me an email.
