YAY!   We successfully completed this year's EQAO assessment!  Everyone DID a tremendous job these past 6 days!  I am very proud of all of our grade 3s!  Today, thanks to Mrs. Prsa and Mrs. Reynolds, our grade 3 and 6 classes were treated to a hot, delicious pasta lunch with bread rolls and salad!  Tummies were full and faces were happy!




NEW!  We have changed our desk arrangements into groups of 4 (1 group of 5).  Students brainstormed a team name to represent each member of their team and designed a name tag to be displayed proudly in the centre of each group.  This final month, each team will try to earn points in a number of ways...

• collaborating with each other using positive, motivating team talk
• keep group work area neat and tidy
• arriving to school on time
• having all necessary tools and materials ready and at school
• participating actively in all subject areas
• encouraging others and showing kindness and compassion

At the end of each week, the team with the most points will earn a special privilege / treat.   Good luck to all teams!  Ask your child about his group name and team members tonight!

SECRET QUESTION:  How 21 students be equally divided into groups of 3?
