Update!

Hello grade 3 parents!

Sorry for the long delay between posts - it has been a hectic time of year. Meetings upon meetings!

A letter went home last week from Ms. Lyndsay Ingersoll. She will be with us each Wednesday for the rest of the year. She will be doing the main instructing on Wednesdays while I will be pulling students for small group and individual instruction time. Ms. Ingersoll will also be teaching Science to the grade 3 class and will be the one assigning their Science grade for the last report card of the year. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Other news: Our boxes for Afghanistan have been packed and sent out. They are enroute to Gagetown where they will be delivered to Belleville. We collected 10 boxes crammed with clothes, toys, stationary and hygiene products for the children! What an outpouring of love!

The spelling the children received today will be the last for the year. We will be putting a larger emphasis on Math from now until June. They will still be receiving reading or writing homework, but additional math will be sent home. Please continue to practice math facts with them daily.

Finally, the children have been asked to bring home their mental math to be signed and corrected. They have received new booklets that they will be working on in class - once these ones have been completed, they too will return home for parent/guardian signature and correcting (I do encourage them to try to correct their mental math daily as it is still fresh in their minds!).

I hope everyone has had the chance to enjoy the gorgeous weather we had today!
