And the winner of Spelling Bee 2011 is....

Dear Parents and Students,

Even though the week was shorter than usual, a lot has been done in the Gr.3 class.  I hope each one of you had a great time over the Mid-Semester break.

Curriculum Progress for Week 14:

Math:  We finished and reviewed Chapter 20.  On Monday, May 23^rd, we will write test on Chapter 20.  So, study hard!

English:  We finished our third and last writing section.  The Gr.3’s got their next writing assignment.  The due date for this assignment is May 27^th.

Science:  We started and did the new vocabulary of Chapter 12.  Chapter 12 is all about mixtures and solutions.

Spelling:  There was no new spelling list this week.  We practiced for the Spelling Bee and students had to study the Spelling Bee list at home.

Oral presentation:  Students got their parts for their debates.  Students, practice your parts at home.  The due date for the debate will soon be announced.  Students, make sure you have researched enough facts to have a good argument!

Next Wednesday will be a very exciting day as we will have a special service from the Fire Department.  They are coming to school to give us a demonstration and information on fires and on what to do when drowning situations might occur.  I believe that this demonstration will be very interesting and useful.

On Friday we had our annual Spelling Bee.  The Gr.3’s can be very proud of themselves.  They had excellent stage presence and showed everyone their great spelling skills.  Congratulations to Sharon Tang!  She is the winner of Spelling Bee 2011 in Gr.3.  Also well done to Ryan Huang for ending second and to Alex Lee for being third.  You are stars!!!

That brings us to Star of the Week!  Because of her first place in the Spelling Bee, Sharon Tang is also our star of the week.  Congratulations, Sharon!  You worked very hard on the spelling bee list.

Students, remember to wear your PE uniform on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Bring an extra shirt with you to school, so you can change after PE class.  Now that the weather is bringing us hot days, it feels comfortable to change into a dry, fresh shirt after PE. 

Have a splendid weekend, everyone.

Enjoy the lovely weather and take care!
