💗 Pink Shirt Day: Choosing Kindness Every Day 💗

In our Grade 3 classroom, we are learning that kindness is not just a word — it is a powerful, positive choice we make daily, bravely, and intentionally. On Pink Shirt Day, we proudly stand together against bullying and promise to act gently, respectfully, and compassionately toward one another.

Students thoughtfully reflected on the question:
 “What does kindness mean to me?”

They shared that kindness means helping others cheerfully, speaking politely, including everyone willingly, forgiving gracefully, and caring for others deeply. They described kindness as being a supportive friend, a welcoming classmate, and a responsible citizen in our classroom community.

Our bulletin board shines beautifully with a background painted in colours that represent kindness. Students carefully and creatively chose soft pinks for love, calm blues for peace, bright yellows for happiness, and gentle purples for empathy. Each colour was blended thoughtfully and artistically to symbolize how kindness can spread quietly yet powerfully through our school.

Health & Life Skills (Wellness Choices / Relationship Skills):
 Students demonstrate respectful behaviour, build positive relationships, and develop strategies to respond to bullying in safe and caring ways.

English Language Arts (Oral & Written Expression):
 Students communicate ideas clearly by writing thoughtful reflections using descriptive vocabulary, including strong adjectives and vivid adverbs, to express personal understanding.

Art:
 Students use colour, shape, and creative expression intentionally to communicate meaning and emotion.

We are incredibly proud of how our students expressed their ideas so honestly, creatively, and courageously. Together, we are building a classroom community that is kind, inclusive, and wonderfully strong — not just on Pink Shirt Day, but every single day. 💕

  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...
