Good afternoon!

 

In today's class the students started off the day by working on language.  The students were asked to review various paragraphs to find their subjects, topic sentences, and supporting sentences.  Students also worked on cursive writing where they focused on identifying synonyms and antonyms.

In our Unit of Inquiry today the students completed the good copies of their summative stories!  There was so much hard work that went into these stories and the students were so proud to finally turn in their finished copies!  These good copies are now going to be turned into a class book to be shard for years to come.  Parents may choose to purchase their own copy of the class book for $23.00.  Please see the book order form sent home with all students tonight.

During mathematics today we continued on with our geometry unit.  In today’s class we continued working on congruent figures.  Students explored congruent figures and the techniques for identifying congruent figures.  Student then had a chance to draw their own figures for a friend who had to search and find the pairs of congruent figures.  They had a lot of fun with this activity!

Homework: Read for 2o minutes and record in the reading log, and practice weekly spelling words.

Important information: A field trip form has come home with all students tonight.  This form is in regards to a trip the grades three and four classes will be taking to Streetsville Library on November 28^th.  Please see the trip form that went home with all students tonight!

The class book can be ordered and taken home by students for $23.00.  There is a book order form that all students have brought home with them tonight.  Please have the form completed and the monies sent to school by Wednesday, November 28^th, 2013.

 

We are excited to announce that St. Jude's Academy is going to be hosting an author visit for SJA students and their families! Cecile Marie, a children's book author, will be visiting us on November 26th at 10am to share her stories, answer questions and sell her latest books. Parents and family members are welcome and encouraged to join us for this fun event. Cecile Marie's books will be for sale at the end of her talk for $10. Half of the proceeds of the sale of her books on that day will be donated to SJA for the purchase of books for our own school library. Purchasing her books is optional and not a requirement of attending the author talk. We look forward to seeing SJA grade 3 families out on the 26th!

Casual Day is next Wednesday!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
