Enjoy the longweekend!

Dear Parents and Students,

The weather is cooling down, but don’t think that the Grade 3’s are!  The Grade 3’s are in the highest gear!  No time for cooling down!  They are doing very well. 

Have a look at our art work:

The Grade 3’s got their next Oral Presentation assignment.  I like to look at it as a Science Presentation.  This is a huge one and they are already showing me what they are capable of.  They already have great ideas and are very enthusiastic.  It is going to be big!  We, as Grade 3’s, want to make the Earth a better place and we want to tell people about our ideas. So we want to invite all the parents, and also the administrators at our school, to attend our Presentation Day.  It will take place on November 10^th.  Parents, please enter this date in your diary  and come join us on the morning of November 10^th, at 9.30am.  I promise to have coffee and a treat waiting for you.  J

Students, do not waste time.  Do research!  Do more research!  And do research again.  You will get time in class to practice with your partner from time to time.  Mr. Burt will help you with the PowerPoint Presentation during Computer class.  Do your best on this assignment.  SAVE ENDANGERED ANIMALS!
