Grade 3s at Victoria Square

We are curious, compassionate, creative, and cool grade 3s who love to explore our classroom and the world around us!

It’s all about Graphic Novels over here! We have been learning about elements of a narrative and elements specific to Graphic Texts. Did you know you can use sound effects to excite the reader and help them understand what’s going on in the story? We LOVE Super Narwhal #grade3

“Seeds look different because they grow into different things.” - S1 “yeah and they come from different plants so they might be smaller or bigger”. - S2 “they probably need different things too. Maybe more water”. - S1 #science #plants #grade3

Over the past few days we planted seeds and have been watching them grow. We care for them by watering them and moving them to the sunlight. Some of our seeds have started to grow! We record our observations each day. #grade3 #plants #science

We’re enjoying some time outside drawing pictures of the trees in our community. We noticed differences between the trees. “Leaves can be all different shapes and sizes” shared one of our friends. #grade3

We wrote a letter to ask for help to get some planter boxes so we can make a garden to grow fruits and vegetables! We think this is an important way to care for our community because people need food and it helps the environment! #yrdsb #Kindergarten

Does anyone know what kind of rock this is? “I found it outside during morning recess. I think it’s a Moon Rock. I read a book about rocks but I can’t find this one in it.”#rocks #kindergarten #yrdsb

Our rock painting project was a success! It was nice to see so many different ideas. We painted stones using paint markers. We also had stencils on hand for those who wanted to make a specific design. So much fun!! #kindergarten #YRDSB #creativity #rockpainting

Our Victoria Square Parking lot was a big hit. We identified letters and sounds as we parked the cars. #kindergarten #yrdsb #literacy

How can you care for your community? From March 8-31st we will be accepting food donations to bring to the Markham Food Bank. #yrdsb #Kindergarten

[Grade 3s at Victoria Square @grade3vsps]

It started with 1 picture & turned into a big idea. How do you care for your community? We have many ideas & are asking for your ideas too #yrdsb! Over the next few months & as we learn more we will be acting on these ideas. Stay tuned & feel free to reach out & join us! #fdk
