Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Please remember that the Winter Carnival is on Monday.  Please make sure that you come dressed for the weather and are prepared to be outside for the day.

Please find your homework below.


Grade 3

*Report Cards and envelopes signed and returned.

Health - Please make final changes to your PSA that you worked on today in class.  Please make sure that you submit your PSA online tonight.  (Due)

Spelling - Test Tuesday

Multiplication Tables - 8's test Tuesday

*Grade 3 Orthodontist Field Trip permission form due Monday

*Friday Folders signed and returned.

*Please bring in any recycled materials such as cardboard boxes, plastic bottles & plastic containers.  If you don't mind checking your recycle bin for these items it would be greatly appreciated.  The grade 4 students will be doing a Science activity with them.  Thank you!





Grade 3 students, please see the following note to your parents from Ms. Yu

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In Social studies, we are talking about the challenges that Black Canadians had in the 19^th century (based on curriculum strand –Communities in Canada, 1780-1850). 

Through our inquiry, we have begun to ask questions and research answers. For this particular question, we will be showcasing our findings through a Bristol board presentation. Although research thus far has been done on children friendly websites, I am uncomfortable with students looking up images of slavery (as some may be inappropriate for a Grade 3). Therefore, I have suggested that they draw their pictures instead. However, some students have asked if they can ask their parents to look for pictures that might be appropriate and print them/ email it to me to print. I don’t mind this, but it is at your discretion.

If you wish to do so and would like to email pictures to me, my email is Karen.c.yu@yrdsb.ca

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Ms. Yu
