Dear Parents,
It has been a busy month with the Winter Carnival, a presentation from
the Ottawa Humane Society and the students busy revising and editing
their reports on aboriginals or early settlers of Upper Canada!
The grade 3 teachers have also been busy planning our field trips and
special activities for the year. This week , the students will participate in a
special Scientist in the School Workshop about soil, during the last week
in March, the students will explore using maps to navigate in nature at Bill
Mason Centre and we also plan to go to Upper Canada some time in May.
Thank you for your continued support at home and at school. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email or by phone.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Ramsay

MATH
In mathematics, we are learning to solve problems that involve measuring the area and
perimeter of various objects and shapes. At the end of our unit of study, student will develop the
following enduring learning:
You can describe objects by using measurements.
How big a measurement is depends on the unit of measurement (centimetre, metre and
kilometre).
We have units of measurement to estimate, calculate and tell people the size of something.
The tool that we use to measure something is important.
In mathematics, the student will also be learning to describe the movement of objects on a grid map to
develop the students' mapping skills.
