This week in grade three we continued working on adding and subtracting numbers. We will continue this into next week while also working on place values in the thousands. In language, our focus has been on writing simple sentences while making sure full stops and capitals are used in the right places. We will continue this focus into next week while also developing an understanding of syllables. Our unit of inquiry looks at art as a way of expressing ourselves. The children have drawn their own stories that conveys a message with a few picture and will continue to work on it next week.
Book week at ABIS begins on Sunday September 17. The theme this year is Escape to Everywhere! There are lots of fun activities and events planned.
Book Swap
We are asking students to bring in books in good condition from home to swap for a book brought in by another student. Please have your child bring in as many books as they would like to add to our book swap collection. We aim to have all primary students end up with a book that is “new” to them. Novels, non-fiction, comics and Mother tongue books are all welcome! Please send all books in to your child’s teacher by Tuesday September 19th.
Book character parade
The parade will be at 8:30 am in the gym on Wednesday September 20.
Parents are welcome to arrive after 8:20 to get a good seat. Children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite book character.
Escape to anywhere:
Children are being asked to send a photo of themselves reading in an interesting or amazing location. It could be on the beach, in their favorite chair or on the couch at home, or, with the addition of modern technology (i.e photo shop) at the top of the Burj Khalifa! Please email your child’s teacher the photo in to your child’s teacher by Wednesday September 20th. A slide show of the photos will be displayed at the September 28th assembly.
