Dear Grade 3C Families,

Happy New Year ! 

Hope you all had a wonderful winter break!

We would like to introduce our student teacher Mrs. Maya H. 

from Ambrose University. Maya will be with us for 5 weeks to learn,

 plan, and teach. 

We will be busy creating instruments from Peru and the Ukraine.

 Please continue to send in materials such as raw rice, wooden 

spoons or sticks, paper towel rolls, etc…

Our Peruvian masks are lovely. Some depict the different regions of 

Peru along with the flora and fauna. Mrs. Maya H, our student

 teacher, is leading this project with the class.

Our  grade 6 buddies helped us create sound wave art on the 

computers. We are learning about how sound is made, so we 

had fun recording our names!

Here are some pictures:

We are beginning to read the novel Frindle, by Andrew Clements. 

Scholastic orders were sent home, please order online if you wish to 

order books by January 21st.

A note from SVS:
We are excited to bring back two programs, Simons Valley 

Reads and Simons Valley Mathletes. Both programs were a HUGE 

success because of volunteers such as you! We are hoping to 

run an 8 week program of both SVS Reads and Mathletes starting 

January 28th for 1 hour a week.

Here is a brief description of the two programs 

(little different from last year) but just as impactful!

SVS Reads to support our Grade One/ Two/ Three students, 

we are looking for parent volunteers who would be able to come 

once a week for an hour and work with two students. Volunteers 

would work with a student for 20 minutes each practicing high 

frequency words, sentence work and of course, reading a short story. 

All of the materials will be provided for you!SVS Mathletes

The second program, Simons Valley Mathletes is a program 

designed to help our grade 3 to 6 students develop proficiency

in mathematics. The focus this year will be to strengthen

basic math facts. With this program, as SVS Reads, we are looking

for parent volunteers who would be able to come once a

week for an hour and work with two students.

Volunteers would work with each student for 20 minutes 

making numbers, practicing basic math facts and then playing a 

math game. All of the materials will be provided for you.

If you are interested in volunteering with either program, please 

contact us at ggdavidoff@cbe.ab.ca

or bghordern@cbe.ab.ca before January 14th.
