What Did Students Do this Week?

Celebrating Community

As we approach the end of the school year, this past week, students explored how positive relationships support personal well-being through communication, collaboration, empathy, and respect.

We celebrated our class and school communities by completing our final UFLI regrouping activities with students from all three classes, where we celebrated the growth and learning that has happened over this past year. We also enjoyed a pancake breakfast with classmates and school volunteers to celebrate a wonderful year and to look forward to summer. Finally, we watched the Glee Club perform songs about community, inclusion, and helping one another. We appreciated their hard work and success! It was a great week to come together to enjoy our class and school communities.

These experiences reminded students of the importance of working together, showing kindness, and creating a sense of belonging for everyone.

Wellness Learning Outcomes:

  • Personal well-being is supported through positive relationships built on communication, collaboration, empathy, and respect.

Possible Questions to Ask Your Child:

  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...

 What Did Students Do This Week? The grade threes continued working on writing strong and interesting complete sentences. To demonstrate their understanding of sentences, they followed the writing process. First, students used a word web as a planning tool to generate and organize ideas before writing. Then, we reviewed that every sentence needs a subject, verb, complete thought, correct capital letters, and end punctuation. Students also worked on (or will work on) adding adjectives and adverbs to make their writing more interesting. As a class, we also looked at different levels of writing and determined what would make a seed, sprout, sapling, or tree. Then, students wrote at least five sentences about a topic and added clear, helpful details to add interest and description. To end, students edited their work, using teacher feedback and a checklist. English Language Arts Learning Outcomes: I can use organizational processes, methods, or tools to support the creation of written t...

What did students do this week? This was an exciting three days for us in Grade 3. We came back together as a class community and settled back into our routines! We reviewed what a community is — people who care for and help each other. We shared ideas about how to continue to make our classroom a kind, inclusive, and fun place to learn. We also got back into reading, writing, and math! We did this while working together and listening to one another. We read a story this week called ‘My Sit Spot’. The students demonstrated mindfulness as we had some rich conversations about Sit Spots and why we need to be respectful when we are observing nature. Outside, the students were very excited to go into the nature classroom and choose a spot. We sat quietly, listened, and noticed things in nature like birds, leaves, and bugs. We noticed how being outside made us feel. We felt calm and connected.  Students chose: - a comfortable spot that feels good. -a place where they could be quiet. -a ...
