The ThreeHouse

  Please take a look around your house and make sure that you have returned all the Copperfield library books. Our librarian is busy collecting books and needs everything returned. Thanks for your cooperation.  Activity day is approaching. Thank you to all our volunteers that are making this day possible. Thank you to Parent Council for the freezies celebration at the end of the day.  A lot of school work came home today. Take a moment to review your child's important work. Have a great summer solstice. 

 As grade 3 comes to an end, we are celebrated today by playing some Minecraft for Education. Students solved different educational Minecraft challenges and played together to create and build. In math, we are learning about equivalent fractions. In literacy, we are finishing our Fractured Fairytales which will come home shortly. These are great stories and need to be celebrated.

Today we worked on a math and art project. We created Fraction Fish. Ask your child to describe what they worked on. We are also getting ready to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Today we watched Elder Saa'kokoto talk about welcoming summer. This week we will host jingle dances and learn about Indigenous flags.

They will use numbers such as , and, and learn that the top number is called the numerator, and the bottom number is called the denominator. To reinforce the concepts your child is learning at school, you and your child can work on some at-home activities such as these: • Have your child look for pictures of objects in magazines that are divided into equal parts and then name each part using fractions. • Have your child identify objects in your home that can be named using fractions of a whole, such as an ice cube tray, a divided dish, a tackle box, or any other object divided into equal parts. Coloured building blocks that are identical in size and joined together to make one shape can...

 We had a great day today with lots of outside time and fresh air. Our students continue to learn about division using arrays and equal groups. We watched our mealworms changing into beetles and a few more beetles went home. Today we played some Minecraft for Education which all the students enjoyed. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sun.
