What an amazing job you all did on Friday night at the “Raise your voice” concert. You all worked really hard to memorize the words and get the song right. It was great to see you all on the stage, singing so beautifully. Well done, you are all stars!
One thing I would like to mention about the concert is behavior. I was a bit disappointed by the bad manners shown by some of the students. During a performance it is respectful to sit down and keep quiet and not to talk or walk about until there is a break between performances. My evening was really spoiled by having to walk around and remind students to sit down and be quiet. Most of you behaved beautifully but there are a few of you who really need to learn to act more responsibly.
It was a test-full week this week and you all did a great job staying focused and concentrating for each test. I am really proud of all your achievements, you can be happy with your results.
For the next few weeks in Math, we will be reviewing and learning all about addition and subtraction.
In Science for the rest of the month we will be looking at various ecosystems – such as deserts, forests, grasslands, and water.
In Social Studies we start Unit 2 Chapter 3 which is all about Citizenship and Government. We start off by reading a story about Jane Addams who started a community center.
Next, in English we read about Aero (a police dog) and Officer Mike. We will also continue looking at fact and opinion. Our phonics focus will be consonant digraphs- ch, tch, sh, sh, wh, and (h)w. In Grammar we will learn about common and proper nouns.
Mid term exams take place at the beginning of November. In Math, Science, and Social Studies you will be tested on the first three chapters of your text books. In English the test will cover the first theme and a few lessons from the second theme. I will send out a more detailed study guide in a couple of weeks. However, you can start preparing by regularly reviewing the vocabulary (usually in yellow in your text book) for each subject.
It was Jasmine’s birthday this week. I hope you had a great day Jasmine.
We have continued reading the African folk tale, Kabuka and the Magic Calabash. Kabuka has met the Great Milimo and with Gondo's help has found the city of the birds. We left him curled up in a safe spot wondering how he is going to find the key that the Great Milimo told him to find. Don’t forget to get regular updates on Kabuka’s adventure from your children.
Thank you for contributing to our coin collection; when I counted it all up on Friday I discovered we have raised NT1758. Well done everyone!
Our UNICEF Carnival is coming up very soon on Wednesday 28th October from 11am to 3pm. Don’t forget to finalize your costumes. I am looking forward to seeing your creative ideas.
See you on Monday, 3b!
Mrs.DB
