Dear
Parents and Students,
What
an exciting week! Not only have we
worked hard, written tests, and studied, we also went on our field trip! And what a great day we had! I am very grateful that the weather held
well. We had lovely weather and had a wonderful
time! Here are some of our memories
captured:
If
any of the moms who joined us on the field trip would like to share some of the
pictures you took, please send them to me on a disc or flash drive. Mr. Harris will put all the photos together
and write us all a photo CD. It would
be lovely to have and to keep the captured moments.
Next
week, December 3rd to 7th, is Literacy Week at HIS. Many literacy-based activities are planned
for us as a school, but also for us as Third Graders. Although we are going to move away a little from
the usual curriculum based classes, we are going to focus on literacy,
literature, reading, writing, and spelling.
Students will have a lot of fun as well.
It is also enjoyable to do away with routine from time to time.
Dates to remember for Literacy Week:
Wednesday, December 5th:
HIS Book Sale (8.00am – 5.00pm)
Thursday, December 6th:
Caves Books Book Sale (8.00am – 5.00pm)
Friday, December 7th:
Spelling Bee (at 9.45am – 10.15am)
Curriculum Planning for Week 15:
Math: We will continue with Chapter 8,
Multiplication. (Students, remember to
make use of the links on our blogs to play online Math games. This way you can have fun AND learn. It is a good way to practice your
multiplication skills!)
English: We will focus on our Literacy Week
activities.
Reading: We will also use reading classes for Literacy
Week activities.
Science: On Monday, December 3rd, we will
write Science Test (Chapters 8 & 9).
Social Studies: We will focus on Literacy Week activities and
also learn about a very famous, influential person, Helen Keller.
Our
Word of the Month for December and January is appreciation. There are a
lot of people in my life who I appreciate!
And appreciation takes me to Christmas…
Our
Christmas Evening is getting closer and I can promise you all it is going to be
a very special event. The Christmas
evening is on December 14th,
at HIS. All the third graders know what
costumes they need for their skit. Most
of the students already brought it to school.
Students, if you haven’t brought your costume, please make sure to bring
it on Monday, December 3rd.
Ms. Faye would like us to have a dress rehearsal. Also, all students need to bring white gloves
for our song. Third Graders, don’t give
away all the surprises…J
Our Student of the Week is Tom Lu.
Tom is working very hard and he is participating very well in class. Well done, Tom! You are a star!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Stay warm and healthy!
Kind Regards,
Ms. Crous
