Welcome to Grade 3
Welcome Parents
Welcome to my weekly blog about the Grade 3 class. On this page I will be giving information about what is happening in class, as well as posting some assignments that you can print off at home (paper copies will be provided to all students; however, they sometimes go missing before making it home).
Home Support
Every week students will be given a list of spelling words, a Bible Memory Verse (BMV), and will be expected to read for 20 min daily as part of their home reading. Any assignments that are not completed in class will also be brought home to complete. We appreciate and need the support of parents to reinforce learning in the classroom by assisting students at home with these weekly tasks to develop good study and learning habits.
Tests
There will be weekly spelling tests as well as occasional tests in other subjects. All tests will be sent home to be signed by parents, corrected and then returned to school. This is one of the ways I will keep you updated on each students academic performance.
Contact me
If you ever have any questions during the school year please feel free to contact me at the school. Here are several ways to communicate with me.
- write a message for me in the student planner
- email me, jmayer@kingschristianschool.com I check email several times during the day.
- phone the office and leave a message. I will return the call after school is over when time allows. Please call the office if you need to schedule time before or after school to talk with me one on one.
Heathy Classroom Notes
- Please make sure to bring a water bottle to class, we have a classroom fountain but it is not filtered water and water bottles can easily be refilled using the upstairs refill station that is filtered.
- Students may bring in their own ear buds or headphones for the use of computers in class. There is a school set available for use; however, the school set is used by multiple students from different grades and is not easily sanitized.
- Please do not bring in any toys or stuffed animals to class.
- Please consider having a sweater/jacket and hat available to leave at school, as we will be spending more time learning outside (especially during nice weather).
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. Please send me a quick email using your child鈥檚 name as the subject so I can communicate with you in this way.
Visit the Classroom before School begins
If there are any students that would like to come and visit the classroom before school begins to help with first day jitters please contact me and we can arrange for you to come in to meet me and tour the classroom.
May 4-8
News and Reminders
Home Reading - Just a reminder to parents to continue to listen to your child's reading. They should be bringing home a leveled reading article that they need to read 5X throughout the week.
Family Project - Students should now have information and a story from both themselves and four adults from their family. This week they should be getting information from any family member they have missed. We will be working on both family stories and family trees this week in class. Please remember to bring your family project duo-tang to class everyday this week.
Wednesday - spelling test
Thursday - Field Trip to Kingfisher
Friday - Pro D, no school
This Week
Welcome to the weekly Grade 3 blog. Each week I will be giving a brief summary of what students will be learning and working on, as well information on events and activities for that week.
Bible memory Verse - Joshua 1:9
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.鈥�
In Bible class we have started the book of Joshua. We will be hearing stories of how the Israelites must trust God to help them in the Promised land. This week we will hear the story of how the Gibeonites trick the Israelites into not attacking them.
This week in Math we are continuing our unit on measurement. We will finish off our learning on time and then move onto temperature. We will learn about using a thermometer to measure heat energy and what a weather forecast is.
For writing students will continue to type out their family stories. Those that forget to bring a story to class on Tuesday will work on writing paragraphs.
In Science we are learning about ecosystems. We have been looking at both plants and animals and how they are important in an ecosystem. This week we will be going to the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre to release our Salmon and learn about our local ecosystem.
