I think it is safe to say that the snow is officially here to stay! Please remember to continue sending your child with all of the winter gear they need to stay warm and enjoy their outdoor recess breaks! Thank you! ❄⛄❄
I've attached some notes that included important information for this month:
📅 November Important Dates
📕 November Home Reading Goals
🚌 Dinosaur Museum Field Trip Reminder
🎄 Christmas Concert Information
💕 Remembrance Day
We discussed the significance of Remembrance Day this week and participated in a beautiful school ceremony this morning. I am so proud of the consideration and understanding that our class demonstrated while honouring this important day.
📙 Language Arts
We are continuing our daily routine of word sort tasks, printing practice, writing skills, and reading skills. We have also created an "All About Me" nonfiction text features file folder lapbook! The students have been learning all about a variety of nonfiction text features while constructing an interactive lapbook that highlights the features of their own life! 📁

📖 Home Reading
A friendly reminder that we have 4 home reading goals to crush this month! For the month of November there will be weekly home reading goals. Each student will work towards these goals individually, instead of as a class.
The weekly goals are as follows:
- Week 1 - Nov 4 – 11 - 60 minutes total for the week (minimum)
- Calendar Book Check on Tuesday Nov 12th
- Week 2 - Nov 12 – 17 - 70 minutes total for the week (minimum)
- Calendar Book Check on Monday Nov 18th
- Week 3 - Nov 18 – 24 - 80 minutes total for the week (minimum)
- Calendar Book Check on Monday Nov 25th
- Week 4 - Nov 25 – 30 - 90 minutes total for the week (minimum)
- Calendar Book Check on Monday Dec 2nd
📘 Math - Skip Counting
We have been reviewing and refreshing our skip counting skills this week. We have been doing some whole body learning with our fluency and fitness skip counting practice! Ask your child about their morning math workouts! In grade 3, students learn how to skip count forwards and backwards from any number up to 1000. Please help your child practice at home, as this can be a tricky skill to master. Thank you for your ongoing support!
🚌 Dinosaur Museum Field Trip 🦕🦖
The date is approaching fast and we are eagerly anticipating our first big field trip of the year!
*A few important field trip notes:
-Your child needs to be on time to school to ensure they are prepared to board the bus.
-Please ensure your child has a filling breakfast, as there may not be time for a snack break before our scheduled lunch break. We will have 1 full hour for lunch though, so students will have lots of time to eat their lunches.
-Your child requires a packed lunch. There are no canteen options available on this day.
-Your child requires a water bottle.
Thank you in advance for your support to help make this an amazing day!
