Weekly Update: November 26-30

Hi Grade Three Community,

   Thank you to all who were able to make it out to the Primary Open house. It was so great to give you a glimpse into our Primary program here at WRCA.

This Friday report cards will be going home. I'm going to a chat with the class about what report card mean and what those little numbers say about their work. What I always stress to the students is that I write report cards for you the parents, but also for the students to understand how their doing and areas of improvement. That being said, I would love to hear that every student was able to sit down with their parents and discuss their report card. Another thing I stress with the kids is what the numbers mean. Here's a breakdown of what the numbers mean:

1. Not yet within expectations: Student needs help as they are not understanding the subject or are unable to perform this specific task.
2. Minimally meets expectations: Student is beginning to develop this skill or knowledge. They are still developing and more practise is needed. 
3. Fully meets expectation: Student is at grade level! They know the knowledge or are able to perform that specific task. BE VERY PROUD!
4. Exceeds Expectations: This is your child's gifting. A four means they are above grade level, so it's very rare. 

I hope this helps start the conversation. 

Upcoming events: 

• Dec. 12th: Whole School Christmas Concert! Two performances will take place that day. A matinee and an evening performance. Tickets will be available soon (these are free of charge).
• Dec. 19th: Christmas Craft day! Email to interested parents will be sent this week. 
• Dec. 21st: K-12 Buddy Skate at Langley Twin Rinks. All are welcome! 
• Dec. 21-January 6th: Christmas Break. Rest, relax, and have some great family moments!

A few reminders

Hi Parents,

 Just a few notes:

1. Tomorrow Friday November 16th is a non-uniform day.

2. Please remind your child to bring back their script for the play.

3. If you haven't already, please register for the Primary Open House. There will be various student activities that we need to plan for, one being a free Mad Science workshop! Here's the link: www.wrca.bc.ca/openhouse.

4. I'll be sending out an email next week with details about a Christmas craft/baking day.

5. Teddy Bear Christmas is Monday at 5:45-7:15pm. It's going to be phenomenal!


Thanks!

Mrs. Kullman

Weekly Update: Nov. 12-16

Hello Parents,

 I hope and trust you had a wonderful long weekend with your kids! Just a reminder that Photo Retakes are this Thursday. Also, we're very excited to invite you to a special performance Friday afternoon at 2:00. We will be performing four different short plays. The kindergarten and grade one class will also be coming. We'll see you there!

Next week is end of term. I will be sending home any unfinished work this week, as I need it to be completed and returned so I can mark it before end of term. Thanks!

Lastly, I would love to do something for Christmas with the students, like a craft or baking day (or both...). That being said, I would LOVE parent involvement. I had mentioned to the kids that might be fun to bake cookies for a Homeless shelter I know of in Surrey, as well as make an decoration or two. If any parents out there love this kind of stuff, please email and we can begin to plan.

Have a great week,

Mrs. Kullman

Hello Parents!

  I hope you're doing well! Not much to report about this week. In Language Arts we'll be focusing on War and Peace, as we prepare for Remembrance day. Today in Math I introduce the students to the concept of unknown values (2xR=18). For many this type of question is quite confusing, so I might be sending home some homework to reinforce the idea. The homework would be sent home Wednesday, if need be. Next week the students won't have a new verse, but rather if they've missed one they can redo it next week. I'll send a note home next Monday with your child's missed verses. Please take time to have them catch-up. My goal every year is to have every student complete the verses for the Bible Memory award.

Thanks and have a great week!

Mrs.Kullman
