School Closure Week #1

Dear Grade 3 Parents,

Please take a few minutes to complete the Google Form I emailed to your personal email addresses. This will really help me to best support families during school closure.

Due to the extension of the school closures announced by the Minister of Education earlier this week, and the importance of having your child continue to work on their learning, I've decided to assign work to students through a Hapara Workspace.  The students have used a Workspace in class before, so they'll feel familiar with its format.
The workspace can be found in the Student Portal on the School's website http://mrt.ocsb.ca/. Just look for this icon below:



Have your child search for the workspace entitled: Gr. 3 Learn From Home 2020-RF. The Workspace is organized in weeks and focuses on language, math, religion, science and staying connected!

 Points to Consider:
  • Set a routine (not too rigid), this will reduce stress and promote independence skills. 
  • With regular practice, children develop fluency in reading and writing. 
  • Critical thinking, problem-solving, reasoning ability and the ability to communicate mathematically are essential skills for successful learners. 
  • Social-emotional learning increases positive attitudes, social behaviour, and academic performance. Encouraged your child to connect with their classmates in the Workspace's staying connected section. 
Thank you for all your support in these times of uncertainty. Stay healthy everyone!

Happy Spring!

Hello, Grade 3 Students and Parents

Happy Spring!
I've emailed all the students' (board email) to check-in to see how everyone is doing!
Forgot how to log in? Check the first page of your child's agenda usernames and passwords are there.

I really hope you enjoyed your first week at home! I've created a members-only Padlet (online bulletin board) for our class to keep connected over the next two weeks. The address is: https://padlet.com/renee_fleury_fata/9qyoqmml3b0k
I'd love for you to share your thoughts, ideas, creations, or even questions you may have. You can use the Padlet, twitter or just email me.

Before the break, I updated my class blog with information and ideas of how you can continue to work on your math, reading and writing skills while at home. So explore my last post on this blog. Lastly, the Ontario Government has a website entitled Learn at Home with other great games, activities, etc. check out that website: Learn at Home
