Grade 3's are great performers!

Dear Parents and Students,

What an exciting Friday to finish off the second week of school.  We had very interesting and fun Show-and-Tell performances.  Seven students came and share their favorite book with us.  We saw some professional presentations by Michitaro Yasui and Hiromu Matsuyama.

  

We awarded our first Student of the Week for the school year.  Congratulations to Jonathan Sun.  He is a very good example of a student who works hard and has great attitude.

A reminder of next week’s oral presentations, My Favorite Animal:

Students' oral presentations will be graded according to these criteria:

1. Preparation – notes or cue cards
2. Depth and breadth of material; organization of material
3. Expression – usage of tones (intonation)
4. Clarity – pronunciation, voice must be audible and clear

5. Delivery – confidence and direct eye contact with audience

Each item is worth 4 points with a total of 20 points per presentation. Presentations should be between 3 to 5 minutes. Parents and students please practice at home.

Here is an update about our curriculum progress this week in Gr.3:

Math:  We started with Chapter 2 and most students are already confident in comparing and ordering numbers.

English:  Students identified subjects and predicates of sentences. They also practiced how to correct run-on sentences. (Unit 1 will be finished early next week)

Social Studies: Chapter 1 is close to an end. We learnt about oceans, rivers and lakes.

Students also showed great score results in their first spelling test in Gr.3!

Please watch this space for the dates of upcoming tests.

It was a pleasure for me to meet some of the parents on Thursday evening.  I am looking forward to meeting the parents who were unable to attend our Parents’ Introductory Evening. I am excited about working together with you all.  

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
