![]() Students began today with an introduction to our first class study: Robert Munsch! Our first story was his famous book titled "Love You Forever". We had a great discussion about growing up and how much our family loves and cares for us. We learned about traditions and shared some of our own family traditions. Students discussed their knowledge of Robert Munsch stories and then we listened as Robert Munsch read us the story and looked at the pictures in the book. Finally we completed some reader response questions based around the book. But of course, the students' favorite part of the lesson was the song! We then got outside for some fresh air with the other grade 3 class as well! It's fun to see our buddies in the other room once in a while! We are paired up for gym 2-3 times a week! This afternoon we had music and library and tried out a new "Brain Break" on the website "Go Noodle". Students don't have to do the actions of our brain breaks if they don't want to, but they do have to stay active in some way during the time. Some choose to march on the spot or do jumping jacks, some like to do their own dance moves or other moving activity. The only rule is you have to be moving! This gets blood flowing through our body and energizes us to keep learning. The brain breaks vary and as long as students are up and moving we get to earn points for being active! ![]() Finally, a special THANK YOU to the parents who have dropped off grade 3 level chapter and picture books to add to our classroom library! The students love having new things to read when they have forgotten their DEAR books or just for fun! At the end of the year, I give student an option to take selected books home for them to enjoy. This keeps us with a constantly refreshed classroom bookshelf! Thank you!

I love this blog. Cannot believe how much you are learning. Especially like the Brain Break today. Since we live in BC it is great to keep in touch with your school work and classmates.
