I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. What a treat to have some sunshine!

We have been busy in class the past week. I love February because routines are set and we can really get to some serious learning. We have been doing a whole grade 3 Olympic activity. They have been learning the history of the Olympics, and talking about personality traits we admire in Olympic athletes.

We have also been working on a research project on Aboriginal people in Canada. Each group has a different people they are researching and we are learning how to take notes. We have talked about the importance of learning not to plagiarize.

I also sent home a copy of a game we have been playing in math to help with our multiplication skills. The kids really enjoy it in class.

We have been reading James and the Giant Peach in class as a read-aloud. I find this is a great age to read Roald Dahl books, either in English or in French.

Finally, I'll send a list via the remind app of names for Valentines cards just in case you need it.
