Here are some math links that have been included on Google Classroom. Our IXL focus notes and expectations are under the MATH TAB.
As we move to distance learning, starting on April 6th I will begin using Google Classroom. The google classroom will be set up so that your child can access more specific learning information from me. They are expert users of google drive already so I am sure they will all be able to use it without difficulty in a short amount of time.
By Monday the students will need to access their google drive accounts using their username and password (as they have been doing all year). Then they can join our google classroom.
Google classroom can be found by clicking the 9 black squares. (top right corner of the screen) You may need to OPEN A NEW TAB.
Students will be asked to enter a code xzs6opg and then they will be part of the classroom. Once students are in they may explore the sight. See below for google drive and google classroom log-in slides.
**Commercials, Drink Box Designs, and It Looked Like My Shoe have been added to your child's google drive account. Check it out! Also, read amazing Natural Force descriptive writing as well as The Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
MARCH BREAK - Feel free to use Read Theory at home readtheory.org/auth/login - students know their log-ins and password is reading1. Keep using IXL - congrats to Tyler, Greysen, and Owen for earning math certificates. Math - practise multiplication and division tables to 10. Keep working on 3 digit addition and subtraction.
***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** As schools in Ontario will be closed from March 14- April 5th some math work has been sent home with students to complete while away. Please have your child finish the following and RETURN on APRIL 5th: Modelling Division Dividing by 2,5 and 10 Relating Multiplication and Division
As well, all students received a copy of a MULTIPLICATION CHART earlier this week. Please review facts daily and commit these facts to memory! This will be incredibly helpful as we continue through our math units this year.
Write, write, write! AND then read over your writing to make it better. Be an editor - remember our 3-2-1 edit system. What can you find to change? We will be continuing our unit on PERSUASIVE WRITING when we return. Students may wish to write some practice persuasive paragraphs while at home (see language tab).

Please check the subject tabs for study notes and specific information. Students continue to write agenda notes on the first day of the week (Bonus $5 for a parent signature and $1 for a clean agenda). Sometimes things will be put in mid-week. Please quickly check agendas everyday for add-ins, notes, work, etc.

JANUARY 6th/ 2020 Please be advised that for several reasons, the grade 3 teachers have decided to forgo weekly spelling dictation tests. Students will continue to complete weekly word work, and completed pages will be sent home at the end of each week but we will no longer do a weekly dictation. Please continue to work with your child to improve spelling of high frequency/ NO EXCUSES words .
A note was sent home about BOWLS FOR BEDS that will be happening in our local community in the spring. At the end of this month our grade 3 students will be painting bowls that will be used for this fundraiser for HOME HORIZONS. **If you wish to keep your child's bowl (which includes a ticket for the event), please complete the form and return it with $35 payment by our painting date. You do not need to purchase the Bowl as they will go in an Auction for others to purchase.
