Monday March 23rd - Updates and Information

Hello Grade 3D Students and Parents!

I wanted to pop on the blog and provide a little update.  

First of all, I hope everyone was able to enjoy some special time with their family and enjoy some fun activities while social distancing and staying safe at home.  I know things have been changing daily and we are all taking things one day at a time. I know that together we can get through this and support each other.  

I shared a Mindfulness Rocks link on Twitter that I think many of you would enjoy.  Rebecca is offering daily mindfulness videos for both children and adults.  Students LOVED our mindful moments and I think it would be a great way to slow down each day and remind ourselves what we are grateful for.

As you know, at the beginning of February I became ill and have been off sick.  I have been following doctor's orders and all of her advice and I am improving - even if it is a lot slower than I would like :)!  I want to reassure everyone that I am in good care.  I will be re-evaluated on April 9th and I am praying that I will be back at work by April 14th.  I will keep you posted as soon as I know.  Until then, I know that you will be in amazing hands with Mrs. Hegmann.  With that being said, I am an around the clock teacher at heart, and if I see any links or things that I think would be beneficial or fun for students/helpful for parents, I will be sure to either post on the blog or send a Tweet on Twitter.

I miss you all so much and can't wait to see all of your smiling faces again soon!  I am so happy I was able to say hello before March Break on Mrs. Smith's speaker phone!!  

Take good care of yourselves. 

Lots of Love,

Mrs. Caluori

A message from Mme. Panetta below...

Dear parent(s)/guardian(s),

I hope you and your family are all safe and healthy during this difficult time. 

As school will be closed for the next two weeks, I have created a Hapara workspace for our Grade 3 French class. This workspace will serve as a great learning tool for students over the next few weeks. On the workspace you will find some French reading, writing, speaking, and listening material, as well as Social Studies content. Please note that I will continue to add to this workspace, providing more curriculum based content in engaging and creative ways. 

To find our workspace please do the following: 

1) Open up your browser of choice (ex: Safari, Google Crome, etc)

2) Type: https://www.ocsb.ca/

3) Click on JK-6 Student Portal

4) Scroll down to the icon titled Hapara (you can click the icon or beta student)

5) Type in student login information (same information your child uses to enter a school based chromebook).

Our workspace will be titled "March/April Break - Grade 3 French/Social Studies".

I pray to see the students and their smiling faces back in the classroom soon!

Take care, 

Mme. Panetta

Upper Canada Village

Volunteers!

We are getting close to the Grade 3 End of Year trip to Upper Canada Village!!  Thank you to everyone who is able to volunteer.  We could not do trips like this without your help so thank you again.

If you have signed up to volunteer, you will have received a note in your child's agenda yesterday.  There will be two names of volunteers that will be pulled in our raffle to ride the bus and have their entrance fee paid.  All other volunteers will be required to drive or carpool to Upper Canada Village.  Please let me know when you can, if you will be meeting us at the school and following the buses up or if you will be meeting us at the park.

All volunteers will receive a list of students who will be in their group the morning of our field trip. Some groupings will be small, so feel free to join with other parents and create some larger groupings. Once we enter the park and get organized into our groups, we recommend taking a tour of the Village Gift Shop first thing and if students brought money they can either choose what they plan to buy or make their purchases first thing while the shop is quiet.  The Gift Shop is very busy towards the latter part of the afternoon and students may not have enough time to shop and purchase if it is too close to the time we will be getting on the bus.

Volunteers will receive a Park Map and will accompany their group around the park.  You will be able to tour the park at your own pace and visit each area of the park in the order you choose.  We will give a suggested lunch time, but the timing is ultimately decided by the group. We will also let all groups know the end of day meeting time and place and ask that volunteers ensure their groups are at the bus for departure and attendance.

Other important Information...

We recommend that if students choose to bring money for small purchases, we ask that it is a small amount and that they have a safe place to carry and store their money.

Students are to bring a packed lunch, sun hat, sunscreen, comfortable clothing and footwear.

If you are planning on driving to the park with your child or planning on driving your child home from the park, please let me know so I can record their attendance accurately.

We are looking forward to a wonderful and educational trip on Thursday, June 20th! Should any additional information need to be passed along, I will post all info on our class blog or Twitter feed.  Please write me a note in your child's agenda if you have any other questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful sunny week!!

Mrs. Caluori
