Hello Campers and Parents,

          I hope this blog finds all of you safe, healthy and following the protocol for social distancing during this crazy time.  Know that all staff and administration are working diligently to create an online learning platform for your children to continue learning at each grade level.  


          I am concerned about the number of people that are not currently following my blog posts and will consequently not receive important online learning information and updates as the weeks pass.  If you haven't done so already, please do the following...

1.  Follow by Email:  Located to the right of my blog.  Please enter your email in the space provided to link to your phone to my blog for instant notifications.

2.  Follow:  Click on the "Follow" button so your icon becomes visible to me.

These 2 actions should allow me to see that you are getting my blog updates.  Thank you for taking the time to do this! Once I see everyone in my class following, I'll feel much better!

Stay tuned.  I will have information shortly for you.  All students will be continuing to learn through out established Google Classroom forum.  Students know how to do this.  We have been working in Google Classroom since the beginning of the school year. Go to Google Sign in and follow these steps:

    Once in, go to grid in top right hand corner of the screen and find the icon as shown to the left titled 'Classroom' and click on it.  Click on Camp Wilson 2019-2020. You are now in Google Classroom.  (Again, EVERYONE should be able to do this by now already).

    I will notify you on my blog when work is up and ready to begin in Google Classroom.  For now, I am waiting on our board to give us direction on Distance Learning.  In the meantime, feel free to use my Blog links to reinforce literacy and math skills.  Thank you for your patience and I hope you are all staying healthy!

Parents and Players,

          As you are all well aware, the decision has been made to close all Ontario publicly funded schools from Monday - March 16 - Friday - April 3rd.  School are currently scheduled to be reopened on Monday, April 6th, 2020.  Please go to the below link found on our school board website for any questions/concerns/information.


Click on this link here:  About COVID19

Since we will be away for 3 weeks, I would like you to give the heads up about some materials I am sending home with the intention that they are returned April 6th.

Religion Duo tang - I have attached stickers at the back of each Religion duo tang for students to use when they complete their daily promise each day of Lent.  Please encourage your child each morning to begin the day by reading the daily promise.  When it has been completed, put a sticker on that day.  (I explained that if for some reason a task/goal wasn't completed on a given day, they could do it on another day as well).

Math Test:  Please review, sign and return their Multiplication/Division Math test and return it immediately to their agenda and put it back in their backpack for safe storage.

Spelling Books:  Please review, sign and return their Spelling test booklet and put in agenda to store in backpack for safe storage.

Black Independent Reading Pouch:  Please keep stored in their backpacks after each use.


IEPs/Accommodations Paperwork:  (If applicable) Please review, sign and return any IEPs if you received one this week.  Return immediately to agenda and store for safe keeping in backpack.

How Can I Keep Up on Learning over this Long Break?

• Practise multiplication times tables as much as possible
• Work on Land Regions of Ontario Google Slides presentation if not finished
• Review Spelling words
• Write a journal everyday day or so about how you spent your day
• Perform some of our favourite Poems in Poetry Duo tang

I wish everyone good health this long break - enjoy your family time while you can and I look forward to seeing all 21 of my happy, healthy campers back on Monday, April 6th!

Signing off for now,

Counsellor Wilson

Hello Parents and Players!

Tomorrow is JERSEY DAY - all students wearing Red Wing jersey's will automatically move up  on our behaviour chart! (KIDDING!)  

MATH TEST:  Tomorrow students will be assessed in multiplication and division.  Students should be able to ...

• relate multiplication of one-digit numbers and division by one-digit divisors to real life situations, using a variety of tools and strategies (e.g., place objects in equal groups, use arrays, write repeated addition or subtraction sentences) (Sample problem: Give a real-life example of when you might need to know that 3 groups of 2 is 3 x 2.)
• multiply to 7 x 7 and divide to 49 ÷ 7, using a variety of mental strategies (e.g., doubles, doubles plus another set, skip counting)
• demonstrate an understanding of multiplication and division 
• relate multiplication to

Multiplication Links  

     Ask your child, how many links they have earned so far in their multiplication times tables.  In grade 3, curriculum expects students to learn up to their 7 x tables, but we are reaching to 12 x tables!  We can do it!  Practice counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 5s, 10s, 11s and 12s during commercial breaks, when setting the table for dinner, whilc driving to a hockey practise, on the way to school, anywhere!

Happy reviewing!

Counsellor Wilson
