Grade 3 Hip Hop Art & Music Celebration! 🎵

Our Grade 3 students have been exploring the world of Hip Hop through Sound Creations, and this week they brought their learning to life in a creative and colourful way!

Students painted vinyl records to represent what they’ve learned about the roots, rhythm, and expression of Hip Hop culture. Each record tells a story—some show movement, some show emotion, and others show the energy of music and dance.

To go along with their artwork, students also created graffiti-style word art. Each student chose one  word that inspired their painting—such as creative, love, fun or move—and designed it using bold lines, bright colours, and expressive lettering, just like real street artists do.

These activities connect beautifully to the new Learn Alberta Grade 3 curriculum, especially in the areas of:

  • Fine Arts: using different materials and artistic techniques to express ideas and emotions

  • Music: exploring rhythm, pattern, and musical traditions

  • Literacy: choosing meaningful words and designing creative text to communicate ideas

  • Well-Being: understanding how music and art help us express who we are and what inspires us

Our students have shown so much creativity, confidence, and teamwork throughout this project. We are so excited to see everything come together during their Hip Hop performance on Tuesday evening. We know they are going to shine!

We can’t wait to celebrate all their hard work!

  What We Learned This Week in Grade 3! This week in Grade 3, we have been reviewing “What is a sentence?” We discovered that a complete sentence needs two important parts: a subject – who or what the sentence is about (a person, place, or thing) a predicate – what the subject is doing (the action or verb) For example: The dog ran. “The dog” is the subject , and “ran” is the predicate . It also needs to express a complete thought. We practiced building complete sentences together, fixing sentence fragments, and writing our own creative examples. We also noticed how authors use complete sentences to make their writing clear and interesting! English Language Arts and Literacy Learning Objectives : Understand how sentences work together to create meaning. Use correct sentence structure to communicate ideas clearly. Revise and edit our writing for complete sentences. Express ideas in complete sentences when we speak and write. These skills help us become confident communicators an...

  "Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much"                                                                   - Helen Keller Welcome to Grade 3! Building Our Classroom Community In the first few weeks of school, we’ve been working hard to get to know one another. We’ve had great conversations and shared ideas about what it means to be a classroom community —a place where we listen, help each other, and work together. This year, our whole school is reading a special book called "I Am We: A Book of Community." It teaches us about kindness, friendship, and standing up for what’s right. We’ll be reading and talking about this book all year long ...

  September 8th-12th What did students do this week? In math, we have started exploring place value up to 10 000 . I can interpret place value within 10 000. This means I can: Read and write numbers up to 10 000. Show numbers in standard form (3 452), expanded form (3 000 + 400 + 50 + 2), and with words (three thousand, four hundred fifty-two). Explain the value of each digit in a number (for example, in 7 382, the 7 is worth 7 000). Compare numbers using >, <, or =. Order numbers from greatest to least and least to greatest. We are learning that the position of a digit tells us its value. For example: In 4 327, the 4 is in the thousands place and means 4 000 . In 4 327, the 3 is in the hundreds place and means 300 . Mathematics Learning Outcome : Students interpret place value to 100 000. Student Learning Attentions : I can interpret place value within 100 000 I can write, draw and represent numbers to 100 000 Possible Questions to Ask Your Child: Can you show me a num...
