Dear
Parents,
Wow!
It is hard to believe we are in our final week of school and this is the final
Grade 3 newsletter of the year! I know we are all looking forward to having a
relaxing break coming up very soon. We really appreciate all your support over
the year. The last week is a busy one, we will be wrapping up our passion
projects, reflecting on the year and looking forward to the next.
Here
are some of the highlights for the week:

For
those of you who will be spending some time in KL, the school library will be
open 8am- 3pm (closed from 1-2pm for lunch). Here is the Summer
Reading
page from the library as well to help with some ideas for reading over the
holidays.
We
want to thank you for all your support this year and we wish you all a
wonderful holiday!

June/July Learning Ideas
Grade 3
Having a daily routine will help you to
find more time for reading (and for any other practice you know your child
needs). Summer is a great time for your child to reread old favourites. Have
your child always pack a book when you go out- there may be an opportunity to
sneak in a few extra minutes of reading while waiting in line or during other
"dead time". Encourage your child to talk to you about what s/he is
reading, but do not make it a "test", make it a natural conversation.
Research shows that your child should read at least six books to prevent reading
skill regression over the holiday. That is less than one a week, but there is
no reason to limit reading time :)
Literacy (Reading/Writing)
- Bring your favorite book on the airplane/car/bus
- Have a family reading time (everyone in the family reads for 20-30 minutes), make it special with lemonade or tea!
- Write about your time off school (journal,
creative stories, informational writing, etc)
- Books in many languages here.
- Continue to use blogger over the summer!
Math
- Play math games (circles and stars) and any
others your child can teach you!
- Practice math facts! Fun Math Apps
- Prodigy
- If you want to help your child practice telling
time to the minute this blog post has many great ideas.
- Bedtime Math has great ideas.
Others:
- Hour of Code
- Play games together
- Sketch
- Wonderopolis is great for science and
social studies
- Make observations
- Interview a relative
- Share blogger with a family member to discuss
learning in grade three.
- Typing.com
- Make a card for someone
- Prepare a meal with an adult
- Learn how to make your favourite treat!
- Take pictures to share with your 4th-grade class
- Podcasts are great too! Wow in the World and Goodnight
Stories are two favourites.
- Go
outside, often and play.
