//Shalom Parents,
You might have noticed a special letter in your child’s backpack today about…. BLOGFOLIOS!
We are SO very excited to launch Student Blogfolios in Grade 3 for term 3 of this school year. The blogfolio will stay with your child through their years at OJCS and grow as they add posts from all of their classes!
Below is a PDF of the letter explaining Blogfolios, along with the various options for you to choose. Please fill out the permission slip for your child’s blogfolio and return it by Wednesday, March 22nd.
(please note: there was a typo in the permission form that was sent home, but it has been corrected on the document below)
As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!

It was so amazing to be back at school with all of the students in Grade 3 this week after February break… although… I am quite jealous of the suntans and vacation braids!
Here are two highlights from the week along with some reminders at the bottom of the blog post!
In Science we have been learning about different types of forces. While magnetic force seemed to be the class favourite before the break, it seems like electrostatic force is now the “most fun” force in class! Check out these big smiles and crazy hair!
With March, comes MARCH MADNESS!! Grade 3 was excited to see that we are launching our March Madness Book Bracket again this year! Now that we are in Grade 3, we have a bit of a twist! Instead of only having other teachers come join us as guest readers… we will also have Grade 3 students become the guest readers! Today one of our students read our March Madness Book!
Which book do you think will win? Let us know in the comments!
//February break may be starting, but I am buzzing with excitement about all of the upcoming events at school! Here is just a quick post to make sure your calendars are up to date with all of the amazing happenings here upon your return to school after Feb. Break!

//This month we have been learning about the difference between facts and opinions. It’s important to learn the difference so we can become better at identifying opinions from facts when doing research online!
We started with a read aloud and workshop with our Librarian, Miss Brigitte!
Then, we spent our library period finding different non-fiction books about various topics of interest. We then started our research by looking for facts!
Some interesting facts we learned were…
Some opinions we shared were…
Do you have any fun facts or opinions that you would like to share with us? Comment below!!!
REMINDERS!
