Semaines du 15 au 26 avril

Bonjour,

What an awesome 2 weeks we had. We had the chance to participate in 3 different dance lessons. Those lessons were offert by Luv 2 Groove. The students learn an hip-hop dance, an african dance, and a bollywood dance. They were really creative with their freestyle mouvement as they explored different style of dance.

In reading, we have been working on reading response to develop more our opinion about the book we have read. We have been working on explaining why we like to book using ideas and examples from the book, making connections, and talking about our favorite part.

In writing, we have been working on the Easter bunny story following the structure of a narrative story (beginning, middle with a problem and a solution, and the end).


We learned some grammar about ''ses''(his-hers)  and ''c'est'' (this) because many students are not using those words properly. We have created an anchor chart together. We will continue to work on this next week. 

In social studies, we continued to learn about the resources in Ontario: the forest, the mine, and the lakes. We reviewed the different maps of Ontario that the students filled out. Maps with some of the major towns, the Great Lakes, and another one with the regions. 

For visual arts, we have been working on 2 beautiful projects using 2 different techniques of painting. I will make the students chose one of their pieces to pull it out for the Potluck on Thursday May 2nd.

Du 28 mars au 11 avril 2019

Bonjour,

Lots happen in Grade 3 in the past weeks. In writing, we have been continuing working on the small moments. We discussed ideas on what can be a good small moment story.
We did lots of learning in sciences. We are continuing to learn about structures. We revised what makes a structure stable by making the base larger and heavier (élargissant et alourdissant la base). Then, we learned that we can modify material to make it stronger. We did an experiment, using paper. By folding the paper 3 different ways to test which way would be the stronger to support a charge.

In reading, we are continuing practicing our fluency and decoding new words. Great partnership happen during the reading period.


In visual art, the student did amazing with the painting project. They followed the instructions and that lead to produce great art piece that respect the technique that was taught. 

In health, the students worked really hard on their pamphlet and the results are fabulous.
