In the past two months, we have been doing Discovery afternoons with Grades 3-5. While the activities have been fun and engaging, one of the things we hope to cultivate is the environment of critical and creative thinking. Today's activity was creating something useful with material given. we did not give a lot of direction, just time and materials. They had such wonderful ideas, please ask your child about their invention! 

Report cards went home today. Please take the time to read it with your child. A letter explaining the new format was included to highlight the new features of reporting and assessment. I have also included a sheet to encourage parents to come up with a goal you want your child to achieve this coming term. Return this sheet tomorrow morning or bring it with you to your three way conference so we can have a conversation about it. 

Please check your time and come on time as our schedules are tight and do not allow for a lot of leeway. If your time does not suit you, please let me know ASAP.

Nov 20

What a crazy and busy week! We had a wonderful hour with the Lord today, as we got the opportunity to have Adoration and Confession this afternoon. I always enjoy watching the expression on their faces as they walk out of the confessional. It is a mixture of relief and pure happiness. I remember being scared to go in to confession as a young child and can sympathize with my students who feel that way, but coming out, you can see the joy they have as their sins have been forgiven. I encourage you to take your child during the season of Advent, in preparation for Christmas, as we will not have that opportunity as a class.

A few homework notices were sent home today for missed assignments. Please check with your child if they received a "pink slip" as they are to be signed and returned with the missing homework.

Three-way conference times were sent home yesterday. Please let me know if there is a problem with the time you were scheduled as soon as possible. The Thursday is all filled up but we can always meet on a different day.

Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the sunshine!

We are winding down our first term learning outcomes in preparation for report cards at the end of the month. It has come to my attention that in math, some students were having difficulties with the concept of rounding (to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000). We spent a bit more time on it this week, and we are moving on to addition next week. We will revisit rounding again later in the year.

There is a space poster mini-project due next Thursday, but we are working on this in class.  I have signed out the school chromebooks next week for the students to use during science.

Book reports were done really well and will be sent home on Monday. Thank you for taking the time to help your child out.

Today we started "Discovery" time with Grades 3-5. It was an wonderful afternoon with activities where the students had to show teamwork and cooperation, as well as problem solving in various ways. This leads in to the new curriculum with project based learning. It was amazing to see the Grade threes step up and work with the older kids and see that they can contribute their ideas. If there are any special talents or hobbies that you would like to share with our Discovery time, please let me know and we can set up a time where you can come in and help teach it (knitting, wreath making, crafts, etc). 

We also did a review of the Rosary. Our big unit test is Nov 6.

If they are able to keep their pencils until the end of the day, they earn Fonseca bucks. It has been wonderful! I am no longer picking up pencils off the floor after school every day.

We made it to Friday!!! Woohoo!!! It is always a little hard to get back to routines but slowly, we are getting the hang of working in Grade Three. We had our first Fonseca sale today (to purchase cun coupons) and I also introduced a list of fine-able "offences" in the classroom. For example, if they do not write their name on a piece of work, they owe me a Fonseca buck. If they need a new worksheet because they lost the first one, they owe a Fonseca buck. Most students have done really well with earning their bucks by completing homework, keeping on task and so on.

If you did not get a chance to come to the back to school BBQ, I hope you received the package I sent home with your child. I also sent home the class email/phone number list. Please let me know if you did not receive it.

Please let me know if you're still having difficulties with subscribing to the blog. I think our IT teacher has fixed it for us!

We had a math quiz and a spelling test today. They will be sent home on Monday for signing.

A few reminders for the upcoming week:

-- Library day on Monday, please return your books.
--If  your child is leaving for the Cross Country meet on Monday, they will be ready to depart from the school at 11:30. I am not expecting them to come back, so we will pack their homework.

WELCOME BACK!

Welcome to Grade Three! What an exciting time this is! I knew I was destined to be a teacher when I was in high school. One of my favourite things to do was to shop for school supplies. In fact, it still is! When I walk into a store in August and see the rows of school supplies, I get really excited!

Your child came home today with a letter for the parents and a package of rules and expectations. Please read over the package with your child and return that to the school. A digital copy will be available on the blog. The parent letter and schedule can be kept at home. The blog is under construction right now, as I am having some difficulties with the pages. I will try and have them up and running by the end of the week!

 EARLY DISMISSALS on WED are at 2:30.

A few reminders to help your child transition this week:

--check and sign their planner daily
--encourage them to read at least 15 minutes a day to help carve out "homework time"
--early to bed! Get enough zzzz's so that they are ready and rested for the day.

Homework:
1. parents to sign package, return to school

June 29-- HAPPY SUMMER!

Dear Parents:

I wanted to thank you for all the thoughtful well wishes and gifts. (I am fully stocked for Starbucks,  Tim's and other restaurants, for the rest of the summer and beyond!) It has been a great year with a wonderful group of kids.

We did a writing activity entitled "I wish my teacher knew". They answered it anonymously. I was touched and humbled by the responses the students wrote. I had the opportunity to write them back with notes entitled "I wish my student knew". Now, I would like to take the opportunity to write you a short note...

I wish my Grade Three Parents knew:
--what a wonderful gift it has been to teach such an exuberant group of kids
--how unique and talented each of these kids are; they shared their own gifts with the class
--children listen and take in everything around them
--they love stories! Share life stories with them.
--what a lucky group of parents we have (myself included!) I wish you all got a chance to spend a day teaching these kids.
--how thankful I am for all your support and involvement

Have a wonderful summer!

Love,
Maria Fonseca

June 23

The final countdown is on...

Thursday will be our end of the year wrap up. Students are asked to bring their gym strip and towel so we can play outside with water. Water guns are permitted. Each student needs to bring their own lunch,and I will provide a chocolate sheet cake from Costco. If you would to send in a shared snack,  chips, fruit and veggies would be much appreciated!

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the home support the students and I received this school year. I always think of school as an extension of the home and grow to love each of my students and think of them as "my kids". I think this year I have felt the connection so much more, as I had my own son in the class. It has been a wonderful experience to get to spend each day with this amazing group of kids. Thank you for allowing me to be part of their learning journey. I wish you all a great summer!

I've worked with your flower,
And helped it to grow.
I'm returning it now,
But I want you to know...
This flower is precious,
As dear as can be.
Love it, take care of it,
And you will see...
A bright new bloom,
With every day.
It grew and blossomed
In such a wonderful way.
In September just a bud,
January, a bloom;
Now a lovely blossom
I'm returning in June.
Remember, this flower,
As dear as can be,
Though rightfully yours,
Part will always belong to me!

Happy JUNE!!!

1. Brainstorm and RD of "Someday" paragraph
2. Math pg 242 and 243

WED homework-- (FOR TRACK participants)
1. Math pg 244
2. D for Dump, O for Orchard
3. Ch 14 & 15 questions (we read the chapters today in class)

Message from the Knights of Columbus
As we enter the home stretch of the contest with only a single weekend remaining the results are very close.  If you are unable to purchase your cards after mass on Saturday or Sunday you can email Earl at ecoatta@telus.net or call him at 604-576-6306 and he's more than happy to work out other arrangements with you.

With just a few days left the order is:

1st - Kindergarten
2nd - Grade 6
3rd - Grade 2 & Grade 5

Keep on going and let's see how close we can get.  What a great way to end the school year than a class party for your child.  Help them win the party and help the parish and school at the same time.
