I will do my best, but I am a full-time teacher and mom to a young child. Please note that the purchase is for the CURRENT curriculum (as of August 2023). If future updates are made, they will be added as a 'bonus', but I cannot commit to lifetime updates. Thank you for understanding :) If you feel something is missing or you have an idea for an addition I'd love to hear from you, please note not all requests/suggestions can be accommodated. My email is [email protected] *This unit was updated with consultation from 3 Indigenous Education Experts to help ensure the material, language and photos included are culturally sensitive and in alignment with the truth and reconciliation commission Canada expectations. I strive to ensure that the unit is sensitive and accurate. Of course, please check your board's specific instructions as they may differ. Also, please consider your classroom community of learners and the specific backgrounds of your students as well as your level of comfort with the topics when discussing sensitive areas such as the racism found in Early Canada. There are many activities to pick and choose from, so there should be plenty of options to suit your classroom. Please pre-read all texts and view all videos before showing them to your students to ensure they work for your situation. Board expectations can vary as do expectations from community to community and family to family. Please exercise extreme caution in discussing the traumatic events of the past. If you are not sure about an activity, please check with your board's Indigenous Education Liaison or Admin. As always, tailor these to your class and seek input from local Indigenous groups, Elders, and other important voices as you teach about these important topics. * If you are looking for more grade 3 social studies for the 2020 Ontario curriculum, check out my Living and Working in Ontario Unit Or for guided math activities, check out my Ontario guided math bundles for all strands!

Today was a day of excitement for the kids. We had to get through a whole day of learning before our Halloween party and parade this afternoon. We began a new chapter on Probability where students got with a partner to do a series of experiments using spinners and coins. Outcomes were recorded in a table, and students were to interpret their results. At 2:00 it was finally time to get in our costumes for our Halloween party. Our whole school met in the gym before we started our annual costume parade around the school for parents. We had a nice spread of snacks, too, and played a quick game of Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin! One of my favorite costumes from the day was a fifth grader who I had last year who was Forrest Gump. Although most of the kids didn't now who Forrest Gump was, we adults loved it! :) Thanks for the smile, Larson! Enjoy your long weekend, everyone! Homework: 1. Reading - 15 mins./night, Pizza Log 2. Math - 10 mins. of facts - Sign Ch. 7 Math Test Slip - Sheet 27.1 (book problems on back side of sheet) 3. Writing - Indenting for a changed topic 4. Thursday envelope 5. Library Books 6.
