We can't thank the grade 3 families enough for their support of the bake sale. The students did a great job setting up shop and enjoyed having baked goods for a special treat this week. It would be understated to say the bake sale was a success. We don't have the exact final number yet, but can say the efforts raised a significant donation for the animals affected by the Australian wildfire. Global Citizenship is a focus of our social studies curriculum. The grade 3's proved we can make a positive impact in our world by doing simple actions locally. Thanks so much to all the RBES students and staff who bought our baking!
Our guided reading groups did a study on quotation marks using dialogue from our fictional story Cy and Medusa.
The story had characters based off of greek mythology. Students were able to identify all of the story elements: characters. setting, problem, and solution as we discussed what we read. We studied reading comprehension questions and worked together to find 'the best answer'. Our small group time is our favorite time together as our classmates work independently on journal writing, reading, and word study activities.
Our VIP this week knows more about hockey than anyone we know! Cruise shared his hockey card collection with us.
We have also been practicing our subtraction basic facts. This will help us in our next group of lessons, subtracting 3 digit numbers.
We also had our coding in-school field trip. The students had a blast. Thanks so much to our volunteers who made this fieldtrip possible!
