I can’t believe how fast time flies! I realized today that it is a month before our Christmas show! Teachers and students are all working very hard on the Beauty and the Beast production. What an exciting month lies ahead! All the Grade 3’s are making me very proud because, along with their class work, they are enthusiastic and putting in a lot of energy to make the Christmas show a successful event.
As we are nearing the date for Beauty and the Beast we will be spending more time on rehearsals. The Grade 3’s know how to work hard, so school work will not stay behind. I also want to kindly request students to stay till 4.00pm on the required days. I will make sure that everyone knows in advance when and where rehearsals will take place. It is very important that everyone attends these after school rehearsals.
On Wednesday, November 10th, the Grade 3’s are requested to stay till 4.00pm to rehearse for Beauty and the Beast. Also on Friday, November 12th, the Grade 3’s presence is also needed until 4.00pm – their acting presence, enthusiasm and energy! School will arrange the usual buses for bus children on Wednesdays but we are unable to provide buses and escorts on Fridays. Is it possible for you to collect your child or maybe help carpool for the Friday rehearsal? Thank you very much!
Curriculum Progress during Week 11:
Math: We learned about surveys, data, range, median, mode and mean. We also learned how to make tally charts, line plots, tables and pictographs.
