The summer solstice arrived on Sunday and is the longest day of the year. Fittingly, we have spent our week engaged in some summery activities. First of all, we visited the splash pad on Tuesday and the weather was perfect! We enjoyed the local playground and the cooling spray of the water at the splash pad. We also enjoyed some yummy freezies afterwards.

Today we received our tie-dye t-shirts that we helped design in class on Monday with the help of Mrs. B. We chose from 2 designs: the spiral or the bullseye.

They turned out wonderfully and I think the students really liked their creations. Super work!

It was a wonderful year full of great memories. Wishing you the best summer holiday. 

Love, Mrs. Sullivan

This week, we are saying goodbye to Griffin and Erin as they move on to new adventures.

Griffin has been a Co-op student from STA working alongside Mrs. Rudy, our gym teacher. He has been with our class for many months and his positive energy will be missed! Best of luck to you, Griffin!

Erin has been a volunteer in our room since January. She comes in the morning every Tuesday and Thursday. She has helped us in various ways. Her kindness and encouragement are her strengths! She is off to the land of the Kiwis…New Zealand where she will be studying in Auckland to be a teacher. We are so excited for her new journey and wish her all the best! Kia Ora!

This week, students wrote the Gr.3 EQAO provincial assessment in both math and language. They were ready! There has been lots of preparation along the way.

Questions were related to anything we have learned throughout the year such as coding, perimeter and area, probability, money, telling time, writing paragraphs, responding to  reading passages, and so on.

There may have been some nerves but they embraced the challenges and put forth their very best.

We finished after 2 days and celebrated with an ice cream treat! 

Way to go, Grade 3s!
