Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend and a relaxing March break. I apologize for not connecting before the weekend. On Thursday, my daughter came home extremely sick  and then I got sick too. 

I need volunteers for our trip to watch the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Parent volunteers have to pay $7.50.

Our next Character Ed. Assembly is on Friday, March 28 at 2:20 pm. Students will be receiving awards for Honesty.

This month we'll be focusing on Poetry writing and comprehension. We've looked at some EQAO comprehension questions and discussed how we could extend our responses by making connections to the text and adding more details.

Our first Model School Inner Cities (MSIC) unit on Conflict Resolution and Change was a huge success so now we'll be working on another MSIC unit based on the concept of stewardship.

In math, we'll be working on addition and subtraction with regrouping. Grade 3's will focus on 3 digit where as the Grade 2's will work on 2 digit. Please practise addition and subtraction questions with your children at home to reinforce the concept of regrouping. 

In S.Studies, the grade 2s are learning about diverse families and communities around us. We're also comparing and contrasting various celebrations and traditions that people have around the globe. The grade 3 students have been learning about Urban, Suburban and Rural communities. We are looking at the similarities and differences and thinking of which one we'd like to live  in and why.

Here are some math links on Area:

Grade 3 only:

Mrs. Aziz
