Welcome to another great week in 3 Glazier. I trust students enjoyed their day off on Wednesday. Finger’s crossed that Mother Nature will cooperate and students will be able to enjoy the recess break outside. French - This week students will be correcting/self-assessing and rehearsing their draft copies of their video presentation prior to next Monday. I look forward to helping students master the language and find their “voice” in each piece. Stay tuned J  Guided reading/Daily 5 continues as usual. We have progressed on to E level books and students continue learn how to incorporate new skills such as prediction, visualization, etc. while reading. While at home if your child is unsure of a word, feel free to write it down on a sticky note and/or write it down in their agenda and we will practice the word(s) and add them to our word wall. As well, please ensure your child records the book(s) they have read each night in the reading log sheet. I have extra copies once their log becomes full. Math - Last week’s weekly quiz has been corrected and sent home to be signed. Please return with your child this week. As for this week, we will be using our time to review/go over concepts thought to date in our Patterns unit. My goal is to administer their unit test Friday. Feel free to contact me via e-mail and/or agenda if you would like additional material for your son/daughter to practice at home. Social Studies – This week we will read a book entitled “Je fais le plan de ma class” and review the map students completed last week. My focus this week will be on how to read/understand map legends. My goal is to have students complete a legend of their own by Friday. Additionally, we will continue to utilize Google Maps and Google Earth to explore various locations throughout the city and province. Students really enjoy this time! Reminders:  - Reading is to occur nightly  - Sign and return math quiz.  - Please sign your child’s agenda nightly  - Library Thursday  - Computer lab Friday - Art Richard (French cultural activity) coming up February 7th. Let’s have a great week. If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
