Language Arts

In E.L.A. students will be using a variety of skills to complete activities in writing, reading, speaking and listening.

We will have a spelling quiz every Thursday morning on 15 given words.
Students will read independently for 15-20 minutes every day.
Students will complete a wide range of writing activities to develop ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency/structure, and grammar skills.
The students will demonstrate their understanding of a text using a wide variety of media, including: art, writing, discussion/questions, expressive reading and body movement.
Students will partake in guided reading to improve decoding, comprehension and fluency skills.

In grade 3 students will continue to develop skills in several areas of math. Some of the math we study will be a continuation of that learned in grades 1-2.

Please be advised that simple skip counting, place value, addition/subtraction, geometry, pattterning, etc should already be knowledge that your child possesses.

This year's units in math include: Patterns, Number to 1000, Addition/Subtraction, Measurement, Fractions, Geometry, Data Analysis and Multiplacation/Division.

In Social Studies this year students will be learning about citizenship and community involvement, heritage, people and place. Students will be exploring with mapping and learning about the contintents and oceans of the world. We will also use our multicultural classroom to learn about each other and the world.

In Health we will be looking at food choice, exercise, bullying, dealing with emotions, teeth, seatbelts, handwashing and helmets. This is an important subject and often centers around how the students practice healthy living at home. Please be sure to remind your child of healthy practices at home to keep help them form good habits.

Overview of the Subjects

Explore below to read a brief description of the main subjects 3A is learning about this year. In addition to these subjects 3A is also learning about: ART, MUSIC, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, ARABIC AND ISLAMIC/NON-ISLAMIC.

Our science classes are based around experimenting and exploring. We are going to move through four units this year. The first is all about PLANTS and each child will grow their own plant to learn about a plant's life cycle, parts and what plants need to survive. Students will also explore the units of: Soil, Magnets and Structures.

Since most of our science will be hands on, students need to give 100% of their focus in class. This is not a subject that will often be studied for at home.
