Jan 16th-18th- Welcome Students!

Welcome!

Hello, I am the new grade 3 teacher for Sunway International School. I am from Canada and I am excited to start Grade 3 learning!

The first day back, we will be doing some Icebreaker games to get to know each other.  Students will complete an 'All About Me' booklet and share with small groups. 

We will be going over class rules and expectations and creating a co-operative classroom pledge.

We will then jump into some simple data management by graphing some information about our new class/classmates.

I will be reading a book titled "Scaredy Squirrel: Makes A Friend" By Mélanie Watt. We will then discussing as a class, the virtue of the month; Friendship. Our literacy focus will be making predictions about the text and making connecting by talking about how to be a good friend (this will be down in pairs)

I will be sending home a weekly Time Table for our 3B class! But just in case here it is!

Wednesday:

I will be reading a book titled "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids" By Carol McCloud. We will further explore the topic of friendship and have small group discussion on the kind of words and actions we should/should not do, in order to be good friend. They will share ideas with whole class and then we will create a positive word/action display for the classroom. 

We will continue into data management and graphing activities, followed by some small group math centers. 

The students will have their first session with the primary Music teacher and will finish off the day with a Visual Arts class.

Thursday:

Don't forget that the students have P.E today, please remember proper equipment (shoes, clothes)
