SWIM TO SURVIVE!!

October 2019

Dear Families/Guardian(s),

Please note that we will be participating in the Swim to Survive program soon. Please ensure your child
arrives to school on time on our swim days as the bus will be leaving Rick Hansen P.S. at 9:30 a.m..  

We will be swimming on November 1, 8, and 22.

We are asking for your help by having your child come to school with their swimming suit on under their
clothes. Please remind them to pack underwear for after swimming!  Your child will need a towel, and they are
allowed to bring flip-flops and goggles but they will need to be responsible for them. I would also suggest a plastic
bag to carry their wet towel and swimwear.  

We recommend sending extra healthy snacks to school, too, as they are often very hungry after their swim
sessions. 

Thank you for your support,

The Grade 3 Team 

What's happening in Room 312!

Hi - here's a quick update on what's happening in Room 312 these days!

1.  I understand that Swim to Survive is now available for payment online, as is the Arts Package.
2.  Pizza will NOT be starting this week.
3.  Scholastic order forms went home today.  Orders are due October 18.



Literacy:  READ AS IF BOOKS ARE GOLD!  In Literacy, we are working on composing fantastic "grade 3" sentences, and learning how to check for comprehension (ask your child about the three comprehension check questions).  We've interviewed our in-class reading partners, and are working on our reading stamina.  Students should be continuing to bring their red Reading Logs back and forth each day, along with their agendas.

Math:  Today we started to officially review and learn some new place value concepts.  Most students have completed their counting assessments and these will be sent home hopefully by the end of the week. The Wednesday MATH HOMEWORK was sent home today - it is due on Friday.


Please let me know if you have any questions.
