What a terrific start to grade 3 in Camp Wilson! Every student is working really hard to earn a great progress report! Please feel free to ask your child about what success criteria we co-created in order to have a successful start in grade 3!
Just so you know, this is what we came up with...
How to Have a Great Start in Grade 3
- Arrive to camp at 8:45-9:00 am
- Enter the school/camp calmly and quietly
- Bring agenda to class daily signed
- Follow directions, rules and routines independently
- Participate actively by raising his/her hand
- Pack up quickly and quietyly at the end of the day
- Be respectful of Camp Counsellors and fellow campers
You will receive this progress report next Friday, September 13th. Please sign and return. I am thrilled at what a tremendous job my campers have done so far!
THE CHALLENGE IS ON!
I would like to challenge each of my campers to read ... (drum roll please...)
3000 minutes
by June 12th, 2020! Now, that sounds like a lot of reading, but it is actually only 20 minutes of reading a day, 5 days a week! If you choose to read on the weekends as well, you will definitely reach and even surpass this goal! We will officially begin today! Please make sure your child logs his/her reading times on the Reading Log that will be given to each camper to be kept in their black pouches. Parents must initial each entry.
200 school days x 15 mins a night = 3000 minutes in total
Students know they are allowed to switch up their independent reading books WHENEVER they need to, but this responsibility is on them. I have many books for them to borrow, so let the reading begin! I will be checking in monthly to monitor their reading progress. This is not something that one can complete at the last minute! Those campers who reach the goal of reading 3000 minutes will earn a free lunch of their choice with me, Counsellor Wilson in the last week of school! I hope to be buying ALL of my campers lunch that day!

SECRET QUESTION: Is 12 a multiple of 5? Yes or No. (That means, when counting by 5s, do you say the number 12?)
