This busy, busy Wednesday had us all working really hard.
We reviewed how to revise a story in Language Arts, and then wrote the quiz on Yonder Mountain.
In Math, the students identified and described different four-sided figures (rectangle, square, parallelogram, and quadrilateral).

Happy Birthday Fiona!!!! Thank you very much for bringing in the cake to share with the class. They chose to have a small lunch and then come up for dessert and enjoy the delicious cake. Everybody loved it. Thanks again.
We did only two rounds of the Daily 5 this morning. We identified the problem and solution of stories, and reviewed for the Journeys quiz tomorrow on Yonder Mountain.
We reviewed the Math quiz on measurement, and began the new Geometry unit. We identified and compared lines, line segments, rays, and angles.
Social Studies consisted of more budgeting. We referred to our Futura booklet and played a simulation game to see what other sudden earnings or expenses we must add or subtract to our budget.
In ECA, the students prepared for the Science Fair and practiced what they will say during the presentations.
HOMEWORK:
1) Math p. 102
2) SS p. 92
3) Practice Science Fair speech/presentation
4) Please bring your Science Fair displays tomorrow to practice with
NOTICES:
- please hand in your Scholastic order forms
- also, please hand in your registration form for next school year indicating if your child will/will not attend
- Journeys quiz tomorrow on Yonder Mountain
SCIENCE FAIR UPDATE:
- Grades 1-3 will be setting up and practicing on Thursday morning. After lunch, they will be judged. Parents and other students are welcome to view the displays from 3:00pm - 4:00pm.

It's Science Fair week!
As we do every Monday, we began this morning with Assembly. This week is our turn for the morning readers and lunch prayers. The students that won the Easter Egg Art contest were brought up on stage for all to see. Congratulations everybody, and especially our Terrific Third Grader, Fiona.
Once we returned to our classroom, we shared our weekend activities and dove into some Word Work for the Daily 5. Our focus lesson when reading today was about trying to read smoothly to gain a stronger fluency.
A quiz on measurements took up our time in Math.
Finally, in Social Studies, we had a good discussion/debate about jobs, money and family. We learned about the importance of making a budget, and the students made a budget for their Futura life.
HOMEWORK:
1) Reading - Comprehension questions - the students wrote the questions in their notebooks.
2) Reading Log
NOTICES:
- pictures have been added to last Friday's class
- quiz on Yonder Mountain on Wednesday
Have an excellent evening.

Happy Earth Day!!
Today is Earth Day, and to help conserve our resources, we did not turn on the lights, made sure we only took food we can eat, and conserved water when we could.
In Language Arts, the students had their weekly spelling test, followed by one Daily 5 lesson: Listen to Reading. We are almost finished the Jungle Book.
Science had us learning about the physical changes that can take place to matter. We made physical changes to paper by making origami and then letting the birds fly from the second floor.
For Math, we measured weight in grams (g) and kilograms (kg). The students had to estimate and measure using a grams scale and a kilograms scale.
HOMEWORK:
1) Math p. 101
2) Social Studies - My Future: please circle your choices on page 1 and complete page 2 on what job you would like to have in Futura.
3) corrections on Pronouns quiz
4) Math quiz Monday - please study:
a) how to measure to the nearest inch and half inch
b) estimating capacity (you do not need to know the conversions of cups to pints to quarts to gallons
c) estimate and measure length in cm, dm, m, and km
d) estimate weight in pounds and ounces
e) estimate weight in grams and kilograms
f) there will be some problem solving
g) this is a short quiz as we did not spend too much time on these lessons
SCIENCE FAIR UPDATE:
- All the displays look amazing!! I can see how much hard work was put in to create them. Good job everyone, and thanks for the help, parents. I have spoken to your child about the display and if there are any errors. If you choose to make the corrections, you can. I will send a Dojo message this weekend about what changes could be made.
- next week we will make sure the students are prepared for the presentations.
NOTICES:
- quiz in Reading on Yonder Mountain on Wednesday
- Scholastic order form was given out
Have a wonderful weekend.

It's a toasty one out there today!
In our nice and cool classroom this morning, the students wrote their exam on pronouns. Following the exam was math where we measured and compared weights in ounces (oz) and pounds (lbs).
Science was the highlight of the day as we got to make ooze and discuss its characteristics. Is it a liquid or solid? Feel free to do this messy experiment at home anytime you want. Just add water to corn starch. You can add food coloring to make it more exciting!
Reading and Phonics did not happen today as it was the teacher's PD Day and we had a meeting for that class.
Congratulations to Fiona for winning the Easter Egg decorating competition in Grade 3. Fiona is quite the artist - great job, Fiona.
HOMEWORK:
1) Math worksheet
2) LA - Picture dictionary - please write a sentence and draw a picture for 10 of your spelling words
3) Spelling test
NOTICES:
- please return the student and parent reading log surveys tomorrow, and thanks again for participating
- tomorrow is PE - wear your casual clothes, and perhaps and extra t-shirt to change into if you like to sweat a lot
- please get the Science Fair displays in, and we can make any last adjustments to the display
- lower elementary will display and present their Science Fair project next Thursday, and parents are welcome to view them all in the late afternoon (I will confirm the exact time later)
Have a great evening.

We are over the hill for the week.
This morning was entertaining for the students as members of the Police Service came to speak to the students. Some students were lucky and walked away with prizes for participating and answering questions. Some were lucky enough to be handcuffed to each other.
After the police visit, we dove in to Math and measured length in centimeters, decimeters, meters, and estimated with kilometers.
In Science, we demonstrated how water can change into different states.
Social Studies was exciting as the students began to think about Futura! We got to read about the type of house, car, food, and fun plan they will live in for our economics unit.
ECA: Easter Egg hunt!! Good job students for finding the eggs, and showing a lot of good teamwork in helping others find the eggs as well.
HOMEWORK:
1) Math p. 97
2) LA sentences - please write 5 sentences using an object pronoun, and 5 sentences using "me."
3) Language arts exam on pronouns
NOTICES:
- tomorrow is library, so please bring your card and books
- spelling test on Friday
Have a great evening.
