Finished Science Projects

The classroom has been buzzing with the sounds of scissors cutting, markers marking, paintbrushes painting, and so on. Our science projects about sound are complete and the students have presented them not only to our own class, but also to 2 other classes who came to visit us and see our hard work!

We are proud of our work and how much we have learned about sound with this project.

Several students presented their guitars, one student presented about a harmonica he made, many taught us about how dolphins or bats communicate, and one student taught us about decibels and the loudness of sound. Great work, Gr.3s!

Celebrating our Writing!

When we come to an end of a writing unit, we celebrate our hard work! We are so proud of our books and how they turned out. We’ve worked hard on telling our story using step-by-step details in sequential order.

We wrote stories about true things that have happened to us including stories about:

  • first time coming to Canada
  • camping trip
  • best birthday
  • Christmas morning
  • getting a new pet
  • and much more!

We’ve learned how to strengthen our writing by showing rather than telling, adding dialogue, and using juicy vocabulary. As we read many of our classmates’ stories today, we focused not on our mistakes but rather on what made us shine! 

After learning how to write compliments, we each received 2 compliments from our peers.
