Note from Counselor’s Corner: Our school counselor, Ms. Hamlin, will be coming into classrooms these next few weeks to talk to students about child safety. The Objectives of the Child Protection Lessons: • to develop children’s self-esteem, assertiveness and self protective skills. • to teach children that they should always tell an adult about any situation which they find unsafe, upsetting, threatening or dangerous • to give children the skills necessary to enable them to recognise and resist abuse/victimisation/bullying • to teach the rules
Math Focus: On Tuesday and Thursday the kids are doing math rotations across the grade level. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we do math rotations just in our classroom with 3D's students. Next week, during the math rotations in our classroom, the students will be working on subtracting with regrouping. We have seen this is a struggle for the majority of our class. Please take a look at the website linked below with many great ideas on how to help your child understand how to regroup while subtracting: Strategies to Teach Subtraction with Regrouping Stay Hydrated: The temperatures are starting to (finally!) rise. Please send your child to school with a reusable water bottle each day. On warmer days, you may even consider leaving the water bottle in the freezer the night before school so they have cold water.

We've had an exciting few weeks in 3D!! Our field trip to the Geological Museum left us with many questions to answer over the next few weeks. We also got to explore fossils from many different eras, the different topography of Poland, as well as, many different types of rocks. Last week, we prepared for our Student Led Conferences where students were the teachers to their parents. We were courageous communicators as we made our own individual plans for our parent meetings, which were all a great success! To continue our hands-on learning, we also had a local Geologist come in on Thursday to help us explore our Earth's form and resources. Check out all the great pictures below!! Happy Spring!!!  |
