February Newsletter
Another full month!
February is a busy month with a lot of days off from school. It is especially important that students arrive at school on time and are ready to learn!
Classroom Energy Diet Challenge
From February 4 until April 25, 3A and other classes at Campbelltown will be participating in the Classroom Energy Diet Challenge. This competition aims to promote energy awareness and get students (and families!) thinking about ways we can conserve energy and help the environment. More information about this program will be available as we begin to complete our challenges!

We have started a new program for our words of the week that focuses on different spelling patterns in French. We will also be continuing our persuasive writing unit. Students will finish writing about their collections and begin learning about other ways they can express and share their opinions.
MathematicsWe will continue daily number talks. We will wrap up addition and subtraction early in the month. Then, we will turn our focus to rounding, estimating and solving equations with missing digits like 5 + ? = 16.
