HIS Grade 3: Warmth comes from the inside :)

Dear Parents and Students,

What a cold week! But the faces, smiles and great attitudes of the Grade 3’s give warmth to every cold day!

We ended the week with Airi Saito’s birthday party. Happy Birthday, Airi. May the years to come be filled with great health, good scores and endless happiness. Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us and treating us with super delicious pizza and strawberries.

Students, well done on the tests this week! The Science scores look really good! Remember about coming Wednesday’s English test (January 19^th, 2011) on Pronouns (Unit 6).

Curriculum progress in Week 18:

Math: We finished the eighth lesson of Chapter 10. The Grade 3’s are very good at Division.

English: Students learnt the meaning of possessive pronouns and homophones and how to write contractions.

Reading: We did phonics, learnt about possessive nouns and discussed our story, Dogzilla.

Writing: Students wrote the endings for their stories this week and checked their friends’ writing.

Science: The Grade 3’s started with Chapter 6, Earth’s Crust.

The Grade 3’s received their new Oral Presentation assignment. Students have to choose two planets, do research, compare them, and present their findings on February 25^th, 2011. One planet has to be an Inner Planet and the other one has to be an Outer Planet. We work on this assignment in cooperation with the Computer Studies class. Mr. Harris is going to teach the students how to make a Power Point presentation in his Computer class and students have to use their Power Point document to present in the Oral Presentation class.

Our Student of the Week is Evelyn Hsu. Evelyn is improving very well in all areas of school, especially Math. She is also very helpful and caring.
