Dear Parents and Students,


Welcome back after Spring Break. I believe that everyone had a wonderful time taking a break from the busy school schedule. I am very glad that everyone is back safely.


What a successful and fun week back! The Gr.3’s are working hard, but we are enjoying school! We had a great time making pottery objects, decorating it and being creative. We are looking forward to receiving our end products.






This coming week there are Parent/Teacher Evenings on Tuesday and Wednesday. Parents all received confirmation on their required appointments. I am looking forward to meeting with you all.


Next Friday, April 22nd, we will have our Easter Egg Hunt here at school. This is something very exciting to look forward to, Easter is a very special time of the year. Also on April 22nd it is Earth Day. The Gr.3’s wanted to “advertise” this important date on the calendar and help focus everyone’s attention on saving the Earth. They made posters that are on display in our school!


On Monday, April 18th, we will write a Math test. Study hard, Gr.3’s! Keep up the good scores!


Curriculum progress for Week 9:


Math: We started a new unit. We learning and working with fractions.
Social Studies: We finished Chapter 10 this week.
Reading: We read a new story, The Island Below-the-Stars. Students, you can tell your parents about the story.
Science: We reviewed renewable and nonrenewable resources. The Gr.3’s are also working on a new project, in cooperation with Mr. Harris and computer lessons. The Gr.3’s have to research renewable and nonrenewable energy. They then, in their groups, have to work on questions and study the information – in order to participate in a debate. This will then include an oral presentation.
English: We finished Unit 10, Writing a Research Report. (In Week 10, students will get a short assignment on writing a research report.) They are also practicing their skills in computer class, as mentioned above.


Our student of the week is Shawn Kao. Shawn is always participating enthusiastically and trying his best in class. He is also polite and helpful towards his classmates and teachers. Congratulations, Shawn! You are a star!




Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
