September 24-28

Hello Parents,

  I can't believe September is almost done. What a great start we've had! This week we started centres, which the students seem to be enjoying. It was great to see them working on literacy skills while at the same time having lots of fun working in small groups. We also had a math lesson this week focusing on 1 & 0 multiplication facts. We had a lot of fun multiplying 4 and 5 digit numbers by 1 & 0!

  I wanted to let you know about our upcoming field trip to the Reader and Writers Festival of Vancouver. Tickets sold out quickly this year, so we only have space for 4 parents to join us. We'll be going to see Janet Wilson. She speaks about how children can be the voice of change in our world today. The date is October 17 from 8:30-2:00. I'm very excited, as this field trip is always one of my favourites. If you're interested in joining us could you please either write a note in your child's agenda or send me an email (Tickets are $8.50 for parents). I'll call the ticket office this week and see if any more tickets are available, if not I'll do a lottery to see who will be joining us.

Next week we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving in our class by making and eating a special meal together. More information will be sent our this week.

Lastly, I want to encourage to all families to be reading at home with their kids. Grade three is a very important year for reading development, as Grade four work is based on the assumption that most students are reading on grade level. Please take some time this week to hear your child read and also have them hear you read. Happy reading!
