Unfortunately I was unable to upload the video of the recorder performance from todays assembly.  Apparently, the video file size is too large.

We need binders!

We are working hard on our Literacy Centres but we need a place to compile our pages.  Most students have brought in a 1"binder but we are waiting on the rest.  Thanks to those who have already sent them in!
Also, we are in need of more Kleenex tissues already!  We are just beginning the cold and flu season and we are already out of Kleenex.  If you have an extra box or two at home, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Please don't forget to send your child with boots or they will have to wear the teachers'

Picture Day!

Math Test - Wednesday, October 15

In your child's agenda you will see that we wrote that the math test would be on Tuesday, the 14th.  Please be advised that there has been a change.  Due to the holiday weekend, the test has been rescheduled for Wednesday the 15th.  The test is on Data Management and Graphing.  In class we have been learning about tally charts, pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs.  Students should know the differences between each kind of graph.  They also need to know how to draw a pictograph and an accurate bar graph.
A pictograph needs: 1. A title
                                 2. Pictures
                                 3. A key to tell how many items each picture represents.
                                 4. Pictures should all be the same and should be neat.

A bar graph needs: 1. A horizontal and vertical axis.
                               2. A title.
                               3. Numbers with an appropriate scale.
                               4. Numbers go on or beside the lines.
                               5. Labels.
                               6. Bars coloured carefully.
If your child wants extra practice, there are a number of math games on the internet. You can do a basic search for grade 3 graphing and data management skills or you can go to one of the math links that are displayed on our blog (scroll down on the right hand side).

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!!
