Friday Afternoon Fun!

EQAO is almost over! The students have done an amazing job and I am super proud of all of their efforts. As a little reward on Friday afternoon, we will be watching “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory”. The children are allowed to bring in a treat for themselves or to share as long as it is peanut free. We joked that it will be a chocolate party!

Just a little reminder that we are still practising our lines for the production of  “Munsch Madness”. It is imperative that students practise their lines and have them memorized as soon as possible. We take time to practise in class almost every day but help at home is required. Stay tuned for the invitation to attend our play! It will be towards the end of June to give us some time to really practise. Thanks! Ms. Harrington  

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had an amazing long weekend. I was busy spending time with family and friends and doing some gardening. We are all looking forward to watching the SENS game tonight! #allin

We will start writing EQAO on Thursday, May 25th. There is no doubt that the students are ready to go. I do not want them to be nervous and have reminded them that it is just another day! They are ready! A good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast each morning will help them be at the top of their game. A letter will go home today with more information.

We will continue to work on our Genius Hour projects as well as getting ready for our Play.  I have reminded the students that the Genius Hour projects do not have to be complicated. It's all about them and what they learn on a topic of their choice. Our Play is coming along nicely and I am excited to see it all coming together. Please continue the practise the lines at home!

In gym this week we will be working on our Dance moves. It should be a lot of fun!

We continue to wrap up our unit on Strong and Stable Structures and will finish the year with Plants. It is a perfect time to learn about plants.

Education Week Movie

Here is a link to the little movie I put together during Education Week for Open House. Get out the box of kleenex! My they have grown!

Wooooo Hoooo!

Way to go Ottawa Senators! We are so proud! Final Four! We can continue to add pictures onto our timeline on Sens Mile! Please feel free to bring in your own pictures to add to the wall.

Practice, Practice, Practice

We are well into practicing for our upcoming production of Munsch Madness. Students should be practicing their lines as often as possible at home. We should be ready for our final production sometime mid-June.

Our Hand On Math night is tomorrow night! Looking forward to teaching parents some fun math games! The "games" begin at 4:15 - 5:30. See you then!

Happy Education Week!

As I sit here with my morning orange juice and planning for the next week's learning activities I reflect on all the wonderful things we have done this school year!  Can you list them all??

This week is Catholic Education Week. A time where we celebrate all things education. We celebrate the students, parents and teachers who all make a difference in our schools.  We have some amazing activities planned. Please consult our school website for events planned.

Our SENS are heavy into the 2nd round! Woot Woot! I have created our very own SENS MILE in our grade 3 hall.

Canada is celebrating 150 years. Our Language activities this week will center around these Canadian topics as well as wrapping up our Non-Fiction Google Slides. I have also posted a giant Canada flag that we are asking every student to sign to wish Canada Happy Birthday! You will find the flag on our "Classbook" bulletin board across from our classroom.

We are busy trying to wrap up our Genius Hour.  This is taking longer than expected and that's okay; this is when learning happens best!

We are having fun practising our lines for our upcoming production of Munsch Madness! We don't plan to be ready for this until June so that we can take our time are really learn our lines. All of the students are party of everyone scene as "kids or students" so it is important that they children know the whole play

In Math this week we will start learning about Mass and Capacity.

Please note that there will not be a newsletter for May and June as I will post any updates on the blog for the rest of the year. Looking forward to an amazing two months! Ms. H.
