Social Studies: Quality of Life in Communities Around the World



Our First Critical Challenge!

Step 1: We decided what factors affected our quality of life.





Step 2: Working in partners, we used pictures from the internet to learn how these factors affect people's lives in Peru, India, Ukraine and Tunisia. We divided ourselves into Expert Groups and chose areas to focus on.





Our wonderful educational assistant, Mrs. White, helping out with research.


Step 3: Our Expert Groups took turns teaching the class what they'd learned.

Making Music

On Thursday, October 21, we used the information we've learned during our science unit, Hearing and Sound, to construct musical instruments. What a fun activity! Next up in science: a research project on animal hearing.




Les Bucherons



On Wednesday, October 20, we had a visit from our friends Les Bucherons. They gave an entertaining and educational performance, and even taught us how to make a treat with maple syrup. Yum!

Welcome to our classroom blog!

This blog is a communication tool I'll use to share all of the wonderful learning that takes place in 3S. I have a great class, full of extraordinary little learners, and can't wait to share our experiences with you. Happy reading!View Blog
