Comparing Animal and Human Hearing

The students are researching the hearing of an animal of their choice on their netbooks. Then, they are using a venn diagram to compare and contrast the animal's hearing with their own.




Reading Buddies

We are partnered up with a kindergarten class for reading buddies. All of the students have really enjoyed the time we have spent together; the grade three students are great role models!




Making Music!

On October 7th, the students demonstrated their scientific knowledge of sound by making instruments. They each designed, built, and played their own instruments, all while having a lot of fun. It was a great activity!








Revising our Work

To wrap up our language arts unit on fairy tales, the students wrote their very own fairy tales. For this writing assignment, we focused on sentence structure, organization, and word choice. Here, the students are working with partners to revise their fantastic work.










Skip Counting

In math, we are working on skip counting. Laminated hundreds charts and our whiteboard markers help us find patterns.
