We Remember
Remembrance Day
This week, we will learn about the meaning of Remembrance Day, including why it is important for us to remember those who have come before us, as well as those who continue to serve in Canada in order that our country remain a peaceful and safe nation.
On Wednesday, November 11th, we will honour Remembrance Day with a school ceremony in the school gym beginning at 10:45 a.m. Parents are invited to attend our ceremony.
Our Learning This Week
Math:
In Grade 3, we will complete our unit on adding and subtracting two- and three-digit numbers, with and without regrouping. We will spend a couple of days practising our Math problem-solving skills. Your Grade 3 child will bring home an addition and subtraction review sheet for homework this week. This week, your Grade 3 child will have an assessment of their learning about place-value, addition, and subtraction, with and without regrouping.
The Grade 2 students will continue their learning about patterning, with a focus on pattern rules.
Language:
In Reading over the next few weeks, we will begin to work on strengthening our reading comprehension skills by discussing how making connections helps us understand what we are reading. We will practise using what we already know (our schema) to understand what we read. Sometimes the words or pictures in a text remind us of the things we already know, which help us understand a text and make predictions.
During our phonics lessons, we will learn about open and closed syllables. A closed syllable has only one vowel and the vowel is followed by one or more consonants. The vowel sound is short. Examples of closed syllables include hop, kick, fast.
This week's new heart word: friend
Please have your child practise the heart words we have learned so far in class: the, I, a, said, to, do, of, see, he, be, me, from, you, what, have, look, book, are, was, your, want, go, no, so, goes, says, they, their, were, talk, walk, could, should, would, or, for, who, by, my, one, once, use, two, does, many, any, been, into, *friend.
Spelling Check-In:
Please note that there will not be a spelling check-in this week. We will have one next Monday, November 16th.
Health and Physical Education:
We are finishing up our soccer lead-up skills unit and will begin to practise underhand and overhand ball manipulation skills in Physical Education. During our Health lessons, we will learn about the importance of healthy eating.
