Here is what we did today:

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more detail

Language: Today we completed a writing activity about their goals and expectations for Grade 3. They we able to write about the subjects they enjoy, the books they like to read and what their teacher can do to help them this year. Once that was complete, they were able to go to the reading corner and choose a book to read.

Recess/Lunch

Math: Today we did our pre-assessment for our new math unit.

House Game: Theta won all the activities.







Recess/Lunch 

UOI: We learned all about "Who Were the Early Pioneers!" Together as a class we read parts of the worksheet and made amazing connections. The children were able to discuss how difficult it was for the pioneers and what has changed now about traveling and our lifestyles. We spoke about how people were not as kind to each other and could have helped each other meet their needs. They completed comprehension questions with a partner or in group.

FIRST DAY OF GRADE THREE!

Here is what we did today:

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more detail

Music: Please see Mr. Flower's blog for more detail

Language: We made our classroom expectations together as a class, tomorrow we will be signing it! We played a true or false game but the teacher edition. The students learned some fun facts about me and my family. After we decided to work on the cover of our IB Binders. Once that was complete we worked on an "All About Me" worksheet. We had a lot of fun colouring and filling in the worksheet.






Recess/Lunch

UOI: We started our first Unit of Inquiry, Back to the Past! The students completed a KWL chart on Pioneers. We spoke about what they wondered about when they thought about Pioneers or Early Settlers. We gathered at the carpet and watched a video about Pioneer life. We had a great discussion and made many connections. I set up a scavenger hunt for them to explore fun facts about the pioneer life!
