Book Swap

Hi Year 3,

Our book swap was excellent. We hope you all had as much fun as we teachers did.

We want to thank your families for helping us have one more special moment in our classes. (Thanks everyone!!)

Here are some snapshots of our book swap.

Enjoy!

Quem luta não briga!

Oi Year 3,

Lembram das nossas aulas durante a unidade sharing the planet? Foram bem legais, não é mesmo?

Pois é... para discutirmos a ideia central, 'Viver pacificamente requer modos eficazes de solucionar conflitos', trabalhamos com diversas lutas e seus fundamentos (agilidade, força, equilíbrio e combate).

Nossas discussões giraram em torno do mote 'quem luta, não briga'. Refletimos que lutar não é sinônimo de brigar. Na realidade, descobrimos que as lutas são um exercício de disciplina e respeito ao outro, com regras, tempo, finalidades e locais específicos para acontecer. 

Nossas aulas foram tão ricas em debates e vivências, que culminaram com a proposta de uma visita muito especial. 

Na última quarta-feira, 07/12, recebemos para uma aula demonstrativa, e um bate-papo bem interessante, o professor de boxe João Farias. As perguntas que vocês fizeram a João nos ajudaram a descobrir ainda mais sobre o boxe e outras lutas. 

Parabéns por sua criatividade, atenção e diposição, Year 3!

João... a você o nosso muito obrigado por sua disponibilidade, carinho e paciência com todos!

Beijos,

Você é especial!

Ao longo dessa unidade transdisciplinar, estamos estudando e refletindo sobre a paz no mundo. Muitas vezes, a paz está em pequenas atitudes que temos no nosso cotidiano. 

Assista o vídeo abaixo e em seguida, poste um comentário completo sobre o mesmo. Revise a sua escrita, ficando atento (a) ao uso da letra maiúscula e da pontuação. 

                          XOXO,

                                               Ms. Jana

Peace in Pieces

“We are all unique in our differences and that is the beauty of the world we live in.”

Hi everyone, 

The world is a mix of sounds, colors and people. 

E assim também é a nossa visão de paz.

Every day, we face different emotions that change our view of the world around us.

Desejar e transmitir a paz é como construir uma colcha de retalhos. Parte por parte, ela se faz, forte e resistente para confortar quem dela necessita.

So... It's time to reflect and ACT!


A tarefa de hoje é construir o PEACE QUILT:

1- Watch the video: Peaceful Pieces 

2- Make a square out of an A4 paper. (This will be your peace quilt square!)

3- Interview someone important to you. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. (you may use the left over part of your A4 square, as we saw in class, ok?)

*What color is peace to you?

*What does peace look like?

*Describe a time when you experienced peace. Where were you? What were you doing? 

4- Together prepare your Quilt piece square.

5- Bring your answers and your quilt piece to school on Monday.

6- All the squares will be put together next week! We'll have our own PEACE QUILT!

Peace Y'all!

Dear Friends,

Year 3  celebrated Thanksgiving last Thursday (11/24/2016).

It was finally time to give thanks to all good things we shared during the year. It was time to celebrate friendship, love and appreciation for our lives.

The celebration had many parts.

At first, students had time to practice their English, and Portuguese, while hunting for words in a crossword puzzle, and finding nouns and adjectives in sentences.
Then, they had time to practice writing when, in pairs, they created the most beautiful Thanksgiving acrostic poems.
Soon it was time to decorate our hall display. Students worked individually to fill the class display with colorful leaves of thanks and care.
Almost at the end of the day, music played its part in the celebration, when we all happily danced to the tune of the 'turkey dance'!

Finally...

It was time to say thanks and share our hopes with our friends. We all had a chance to say: " I'm thankful for..." / "Eu agradeço por...".
Just like magic, our hearts and minds were filled by the children's reflections before snack time.

Of course, our families and friends were present, as they helped us have the most wonderful morning snack. Every home sent us their love in the food they shared with us.

Thanksgiving spirit came in and it was finally time to eat!

We hope you all enjoyed our wonderful gathering on Thanksgiving day as much as we did!

Love,
Ms Janaina and Ms Tatiana
