Sharing is Caring! Grade 3 showcase what they are proud of…

Each week in Grade 3 we get together and share something we are proud of. This is been a constant in our physical classroom since September (TBH – Our class were/are always creating awesome things to be proud of so it became a daily/hourly thing!!!)

Today – I scheduled in time to share again…and boy was I proud! This will most certainly be something we will continue in our online class until the school year finishes. Not only does it bring us closer in a time when we have to be apart but I get to showcase all of the amazing things we are doing!

So today, we had an impressive rendition of the Harry Potter theme tune! Awesome work, Noa-Tili!

Katara and Meadow shared some super cool shortcuts and tools in Chrome Music Lab and Songmaker. A site they use in Music lessons.

A ROCKIN’ presentation about Crystal growing – Thanks Emma!

Linked to Rock – KitKat created an amazing Blog post on Rocks and Minerals. Check it out!

An excellent blog post about Minecraft!

We had a wonderful stop motion presentation showing his seedling adventures then a Quacky adventure…Saving the ducks!

Another awesome blog post about Kittens and Cats! Great work KitKat and Katara!

Each week, any and all grade 3 will be able to share and showcase what they are proud of! I encourage you to make a take a look, make a comment, and share something you are proud of!

General Studies Homework Due March 11th 2020

Good Morning Grade 3,

All students will receive a multiplication strategy booklet this week to practise Arrays, Colour-block square tables, skip counting and number lines. These are all useful strategies when practising multiplication. As we are starting out multiplication and Division unit in Math (which will last until the end of March) this booklet will help when you get stuck.

You can also use an interactive tool such as YouTube and listen to multiplication raps and I will set multiplication tasks on Knowledgehook.

Thanks,

Miss M

Exciting News for Grade 3!

Good morning Grade 3 and Grade 3 parents,

Today a letter and permission form will be coming home regarding the soft launch of grade 3 student blogfolios!

The ultimate goal is to help students learn communication, reflection, and digital citizenship skills, including online safety, that will help them throughout their lives. Here are some examples of the different types of blogfolios from one of the older grades in our school.

Public Blogfolio  – This student has been blogging since Kindergarten. It’s wonderful to see how her learning has grown and developed over time.

Public Avatar Blogfolio – This student has just begun her blogging journey and has chosen to keep her name and identity private. We are still able to see her growth and interact with her on her journey. Notice how students have learned to respect her privacy by using the alias in the comments as well.

Password Protected Blogfolio – This student has shared her name and is open to leaving some posts public, however when she shares pictures or videos, she has password protected the post. Only those who have been approved by her or her parents are allowed to know the password.

Private Blogfolio – This blog is completely private. Unless you have an Edublogs account and have been granted access to this blog, you will not be able to see the content.

If you could sign and return the permission form by Monday, March 9th, 2020, I will add an electronic copy here.

We are so excited to finally begin to build a spot for all of our awesome work! If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to email.

The Grade 3 team.
