Upcoming Events: - No school Thursday 29 March through Monday 2 April - Student-Led Conferences Friday 6 April Check out our new unit - How the World Works!! Home learning task choices are linked into the overview document. Each week, students are to complete one reading response and one choice learning activity. There's always something to chose!! This week we started digging in to our new unit by exploring informational texts, both how and why we read them. We used that process to reflect on how we take notes and remember the important information we've learnt. In Math, we're sharing what we know about time and how to read a analog clock. We visited our Reading Buddies on Wednesday and they presented their puppet plays for us. All week long, we practiced for assembly and on Friday - we were awesome!! Thanks for joining us for our show!! Check out our compost video and Lucja & Jan's 5 Why's Video Happy Friday!!!  Student-Led Conferences- Friday, April 6th
The Elementary will host Student-Led Conferences on Friday, April 6th. What can you expect?
Things to keep in mind: All parents and students are expected to attend their conference time. We will not have regular school on April 6- although attendance at the scheduled conference (during the times you sign up for) is mandatory. Teachers (and students!) will not host Student-Led Conferences outside of this already- established day. As was mentioned at Back to School night in August, parents are welcome to schedule other times to meet with teachers regarding their children. The conferences scheduled on the ES Calendar- when students are not attending a regular school day- require student and parent presence to ensure we meet our collaborative learning goals. Sign-Ups are Now Open! DIRECTIONS FOR SIGNING UP: Signing up is simple via PowerSchool. Please view this short video for a tutorial. If you have questions or need help signing up, please contact our Tech Director: [email protected] Upcoming Dates: - Grade 3 Assembly Friday 23 March - No school Thursday 29 and Friday 30 March - Student-Led Conferences Friday 6 April This week in 3D: This week we got back to regular PE classes, we continued working on equivalent fractions, we created our persuasive speeches on the changes we wanted to see in the world, and we started preparing for our assembly presentation. From Lucja - My favorite part of this week was reading during snack time. From Michela - I helped Vera learn something new during Art class. From Oliwia - I learned new things in Enrichment Class
Happy Friday!!!!!  Upcoming Dates: - Grade 3 Assembly, Friday 23 March at 8:45am - Tentative Grade 3 Field Trip, Wednesday 28 March, all day; more info to come asap. - Student-Led Conferences, Friday 6 April. No school for students; student only on campus for conferences. This week in 3D: - We deepened our morning community time by addressing our every day conflicts and 'stepping into shoes' to see other perspectives and brainstorm solutions. - We decomposed speeches to better understand what makes a persuasive argument. We used that knowledge to write a persuasive letter to Ms. D for our role in the upcoming assembly. - We continued our work with fractions by 'playing' with fraction tiles to explore equivalent fractions. - We continued our character analysis in reading by documenting evidence for our understanding of character traits. - We practiced reading with expression with our Grade 1 Reading Buddies and we helped them pinpoint the beginning, middle, and end in their stories. Happy Friday!!!  |
