It's Friday, Friday....

Hi Grade 3's!!

I hope you had an awesome Friday, I know I did! My favourite part of today was playing 'Friday' while we cleaned up the classroom and got ready for home. I also loved finishing up our week with our community circle. I really like to get to know all of you through all of our fun and wacky topics. Talking about Fall today was exciting because it is my FAVOURITE season!! What was your favourite thing about today, or this week?

On Monday, we will starting a unit in Literacy on Inferring.

For the weekend, I would like you to check out this video, and think about the following questions:
(*there is something different about this video from regular videos, what is it?*)
  1. What is happening in this video?
  2. Does this video remind you of anything?
  3. How does the man feel when the lion wakes up?
  4. How do you know this is a positive or negative feeling? (use examples from the video)

Family Members...

For those of you who don't know, every Monday and Friday we have a community circle. On Monday we usually discuss the pit and the peak of our weekends, and on Friday we talk about a topic from our community jar. In this jar there are different topics that the grade 3's and I have thought of that we think would be cool and interesting to talk about. For example, this week was Favourite things about Fall, and last week was Sports.

As well, we are starting a new unit. I am introducing the unit of inferring with one of Charlie Chaplin's silent movies, because there are no words. I feel that the students will be able to interpret the video a lot better, and will be able to intertwine their own feelings and thoughts.

Have a great weekend!
