Presentations of
Types of Communities
This week, the third graders presented their group projects about the types of communities: urban, suburb and rural. They were able to explain the main characteristics of each type of community so that their classmates got a clear understanding of the community described. Each group clearly stated the types of services and resources available in the community and what types of jobs people might do. They also explained where people might live and the types of housing they may live in. Each group presented clearly and articulately about their community type. Well done everyone!

Many Thanks!!!

I would like to extend a great big heartfelt thank you to all the parents and students of grade 3 for making my birthday a very special day on Friday. The cake was delicious, as all the students would agree and we had fun lighting all the candles!!! Surprisingly, we did manage to get them all lit before the first had burnt out! There was some concern that we might set off the fire alarm, but the students were convinced that the fire department would know that it was my birthday and it would be okay! So sweet! The stuffed owl is well loved by the whole class and the gift card will go to good use to buy a book or books at Orell Füssli.
Again, many thanks! J

 A Great Celebration!
