Week at a Glance     September 17-21, 2018
 
 Grade ¾

 

Dear Parent/Guardian,

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and
hopefully you were able to participate in the Harvest Jazz and Blues fun. It
was great to see some of you there!

 

Please remember to check your child’s
Homework/Communication Bag each day for important notices. Marked worksheets
are sent home as an update about what we are currently working on. Please
keep these at home for your own information.

 

Inside your child’s Communication Bag are two
levelled books based on their current reading level. Please practice reading
these with your child each day and sign
your child’s Reading Log each night. Books should be returned to school each
day and will be replaced during the week with new ones.

 

Reminder that student fees are due. The cost this year is
$45. This can be paid online or at school. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please
contact me at shaneen.coes@nbed.nb.ca.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mrs.
Coes

                                    Areas of Focus for September
17-21, 2018 

 

Writing- This week, students will complete whole-class activities
related to creating their own writing prompts and using the resources in our
Writing Center.  If you would like to see
your child’s Writer’s Notebook, please drop me a line and I will send it home
in the Communication Bag. (shaneen.coes@nbed.nb.ca)

 

Reading- Students will
meet with me in small groups during Guided Reading, as we read and complete
activities using levelled books that match each students’ reading level.

 

Word Work- Each student will choose from a
variety of activities related to their word list for the week. We continue to
review their “No Excuse” words from last year. This child-centered approach
replaces traditional spelling tests.

 

 
 

Numeracy-  Our whole-class lessons this week will focus on a
review of skip counting by 2s, 3s and 4s. Students will meet with me in small
groups during Guided math as we work on the preassessment for our first math
unit. Grade 3 students will be focusing on: Saying the number sequence forward
and backward by 3s and 4s to 25 and by 5s to 500. Grade 4s are working on
identifying patterns in multiplication charts and solving an equation that
contains a symbol. Everyone will also have lots of chances to play math games
with classmates; our focus during games this week will be using our subtracting
skills and skip counting.

 

Science- This week we will continue to explore ideas and concepts
related to Plant Growth and Changes. Students will learn about plants and their
growth stages through videos, experiments and class activities.

 

Homework

 

The homework assigned is an extension
of class instruction and is meant for extra practice. Completed activities can
be kept at home. However, if there is an activity you would like to share with
me, please do so! :)

 

Reading- Students should read aloud (even to themselves!) for 15
minutes each night. Books at their reading level are in their Communication Bag.
They should complete the reading log each night; please remember to sign it and
place in the Communication Bag. Talk to your child about what they read and any
Connections they made when reading (memories of experiences, related books they
have read, questions they have etc.)

 

Numeracy-
