Math

We have just completed our unit on Data Management. Students learned how to survey their fellow classmates and display that data on a variety of graphs.  We are now moving on to a unit in Geometry. Students will be looking at the properties of 2-D shapes and investigating angles.

Interviews

Thank you to all who attended the interview days.  It was wonderful to watch the students be so enthusiastic about the work they are doing in class.  If you have any other questions or concerns please to not hesitate to contact me at the school or by email at mrsnolette@gmail.com.

Remembrance Day

We watched a few videos today to honor Remembrance Day.  Following the last video, we observed a 2 minute moment of silence.  The class was very respectful.

Grade 3 Structures Project

The Grade 3 students have been working on a Famous Structures Project for the past few weeks in class and in the computer lab.  I have now sent it home for it to be completed by November 12th.  Students have completed most of the research and are now required to write a brief report based on those points.  Parents are welcome to lend support to their child.  Feel free to help your child edit their work or prepare for their brief presentation to the class.

Waste Reduction Week Posters

Congratulations to Jamie H., Skye and Perrine.  They were the class winners of The North Renfrew Site Liason Committee's poster contest.  They will be awarded an environmentally friendly prize and have their photo taken for the NRT.  Great job!

Kidblog

The students have now created their own blog to share their thoughts and respond to the thoughts of fellow classmates.  You can find their blogs at:

Global Read Aloud

We finished reading "The One and Only Ivan" on Friday and the class was a little sad to say goodbye the novel.  We have continued to Skype other classes to discuss the novel and the students are excited to learn more about endangered species and mankind's impact on the environment.
