Movie clips and more...

Dear Parents and Students,

What an exciting way to start this week!  HIS won 1^st and 4^th places at the Dragon Boat Races 2011 on Monday!  We are very happy and grateful.  We entered three teams this year and all of them did very well.  Our A-Team won 1^st place and was outstanding!  Thank you for all your support and for cheering us on! 

Curriculum Progress in Week 18

Math:  We are busy with division by one-digit divisors.  We did the first 5 lessons of this chapter (Chapter 22).

Science:  We finished Chapter 13.  We have looked at some of the new vocabulary in Chapter 14.

English:  We did more practice on adjectives and learnt how to write better sentences by using better adjectives.  Next week we will look at adverbs.

Reading:  We finished two new stories this week, Poppa’s New Pants and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (which is the third story in Theme 6).  We had fun, interesting class discussions on these stories!

Our Student of the week is Stanford Yu.  Stanford is a very good example of friendliness and kindness.  He is always sincere and willing to share.  Congratulations, Stanford!  You are a star!

Mr.Harris and I have experienced technical problems with the Gr.3 debate movie clip.  On Monday we will film it again.  Students, make sure you review your parts and remember to bring your cue cards to school.

Have a great weekend.  Enjoy the summer weather!

Take care!
