Welcome to Our Class!

Wow!  We have been at school for almost two weeks...time sure has flown!  Here is a video recap of what we have been up to so far in 3C:)

Our Week

On Friday, we met with Mr. Caron's class for another group challenge...the Red Cup Challenge! It was great to see the kids working together to create a pyramid out of cups without using their hands. They should be commended for never giving up and learning from their failures.  The joy on their faces when they succeeded was priceless!

This Thursday, we worked on an art project for Dot Day and created a beautiful canvas that hangs in our classroom.  We each made our mark on the canvas and each dot was unique!

Based on the book 'The Dot' by Peter Reynolds

The students explored Google Slides and shared their knowledge with each other.  Some were experts and others were novices.  Great end to the week!

Grade 3 is...HAIR RAISING!

Dot Day

Today we celebrated Dot Day by reading 'The Dot' by Peter Reynolds.  We also listened to the song and worked on a piece of art inspired by the story.  We also learned about a really cool app that made our dots come to life.  Watch this video to see how it is done!

What's Up!

This morning we did another Week of Inspirational Math with Jo Boaler.  After watching a video about making mistakes and how they are good for our brains, we looked at an unusual emoji graph and answered some difficult questions about it. Tomorrow we will get into groups and come up with our own unusual graphs!

We just finished our first attempt at green screening in the portable.  Take a look!

Finally, here are some of the ways we came up to be the Good News at Holy Redeemer.

In writing, we have begun to look at recounts.  We did a shared writing about our gym class with Mrs. Trent.  Here it is!

Sent to Be the Good News

We had our first Liturgy in the gym and our new board Spiritual Theme was introduced.  Later, we discussed how we can be the good news in our daily lives.  I will share some of our ideas tomorrow! We also learned two new songs about friendship and community that tie into our new theme. The first song is called the 'Song of Gathering'. You can find the lyrics here if you would like to practice:) The next song we are learning is 'Count on Me'.
