Week of December 12-December 15th
It was a busy week at Melawati this week! It was so much fun to see all of our students share their learning in our different culminating events this week. The music concert and the swimming carnival were both huge successes and all of the kids should be so proud. Thank you to all of the parents that came out to support our learners. Also, a huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers for another AMAZING Christmas Around the World! We all loved it.Take a look at all the pictures from the event in the shared folder. I have also added a few pictures from the swim carnival.
This week we will also be a busy one for 3AH! We will be starting off with our field trip to Klang Valley to test the water and observe the human impact on an ecosystem near our campus. Thank you in advance to the parent volunteers who will be joining us. 3AH will be on the field trip on Wednesday, December 13th, so please take a look at the form again to ensure your child has everything they need for the trip!
On Thursday, December 14th is the grade 3 learning celebration. This is a time for the kids to share their work they are proud of with you. It will begin at 8:15 and last about 45 minutes. We hope that you can attend. If you would like to bring a treat to share with the class, please do, however, do not feel that it is required. We have ordered fruit, coffee, and tea for the parents.
Save the date for these upcoming events:
Wednesday, December 13th Field Trip to Klang Valley
Thursday, December 14th- Learning Share 8:15-9:00

Worm Holiday Care If you are going to be around over the holiday break and would be willing to take care of our compost worms, please let me know. We promise they take very little care and don’t smell (that bad)!
This week begins on a day 1
Reading
Students will continue their research on different ecosystem topics to ask and answer their own questions. Students will use their new learning to teach others about the topic.
|
Writing
Students will be reflecting on their first semester and create blog posts to share. They will also be writing informational books about their ecosystem topics they have chosen.
|
Math
Students will continue to work on multiplication problems and applying their prior knowledge and understanding of place value to help with multiplying groups of tens. Students are also developing an understanding of sharing and grouping as they represent division. Students will be practicing these skills in new math fluency games.
|
Science We will be taking our science skills to the field! Students will be making observations, testing the water, and sharing their findings from the Klang River with others.

This week instead of home learning, here are some ideas of things the kids can do over the December break.
I would like to thank you for a wonderful 1st semester, it has been such a pleasure working with all of your children. We have built a wonderful learning community and I will be excited to see everyone in January. Enjoy the holiday!
