Hello everyone,
Some odds and ends to our short week. A good strategy would be to ask your child to explain the purpose of what was going on in the photos to give your child the opportunity to extend his/her learning by answering any questions you may have.

This Sunday is the holy day of Pentecost (and the feast day of St. Anthony). Ask your child to compare  New Year's Day and Pentecost.

In Math, we have wrapped up our unit on Probability by conducting many experiments to see what the outcomes would be. Below, you can see 2 of the experiments. A good question to ask your child is to ask which game was fair and unfair and, more importantly, why.

We are exploring what it means to be dependent on a substance in Health. The top 2 headings of the anchor chart would be classified as illegal substances for our grade 3 audience. In our class, we will be digging a little deeper on the advantages and disadvantages of screen time.  The purpose of this is to see how too much screen time can turn into a dependency and a loss of other age appropriate activities.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER...

• The grade 3s are organizing the mass this coming Wednesday at 10:15 am in the gym. All are welcome to attend.
• School BBQ is Wednesday June 18th at 5:30. Stay tuned for more details.
• With the nice weather upon us please apply sunscreen on your child before he/she comes to school so they are protected throughout the day and not needing to stay in to put on the first application at recess. You can imagine the glitches when a child tries to spray an aerosol can of sunscreen while others are getting ready for recess:)
