October 27th- November 10th Update

 Dear Families,

In Math, the grade 3's will be learning about various types of graphs such as pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs (Data Management). The focus of this unit is on creating and analyzing the various data displayed on graphs. In grade 3, students will learn about the vertical and horizontal axes. They will also learn how to use and justify various scales (2, 5, and 10).  There will be a math test on Monday November 10^th.

In Language, we will focus our writing on the topic of Halloween. Currently, the students are learning about the use of adjectives and verbs to help make writing more descriptive. They will spend this week developing a Halloween poem.  We are also continuing our unit on letter writing. In November, the students will be writing a sensory Peace poem as the virtue of the month will be Peacemaking.  

Important Reminders

Just a note about Raz Kids: Students are encouraged to visit the site as part of our school’s literacy initiative. However, students do not need to be on the program for longer than 20 minutes/daily. Time spent on Raz Kids can be documented in your child’s weekly reading log. Thank you for helping reinforce the importance of reading and comprehension at home!

Have a great two weeks everyone!
