Full 5 Day Week

• Finally a full 5 day week - it's been awhile. We have a lot going on as usual. We have begun our Agriculture Unit in Science, and right now we are focusing on plants and soils. This week in Math we will cover measuring in kg and g. In writing we are continuing to work on our persuasive writing. And over the next few weeks we will be doing a few more independent short reading passage with follow up comprehension questions to better prepare the children for the up coming Grade 3 Assessments.
• This Wednesday is Heritage Fair Day. The grade 3s do not participate  but I always get them to look carefully at how the older students have done their projects, as they will be involved in the next Heritage Fair. It is open to the public starting at 1:30 pm.
• Friday is Spring Photo Day. I assume that a pose/ background sheet will be sent home this week, but I have not seen one yet.
• The school grounds are very muddy and many grade 3s feel they do not need to wear their snow pants, so it would be a great idea to have an extra pair of pants and socks in their school bags in case someone happens to slip - which happens everyday.
