FAIR CHOICES...

Hey everyone,

Here is the LINK to our story.

Please make sure you watch it with an adult. This can be your mom, dad or caretaker. 

Make sure you go over the questions discussed in class this morning. 
Fill in the reflection sheet you took home afterwards.

What attitudes are necessary to solve situations like this?

How would you choose to act?

It's time to reflect, share and grow together!

XOXO,

Ms Taty

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

Planet's Research

Hi everyone, 

Here are the guidelines and information about our next project.

READY... SET... BLAST OFF!

This is a big project. You will work both at home and in the school. You will be working individually and in groups.

First things first...

1- You'll take home today (Friday - October 07th., 2016) an inquiry worksheet.

2- You'll choose a planet of the Solar System to research about.

3- You'll fill out your inquiry form using as much information as possible about the planet you chose. 

4- Please bring your inquiry page back to class next Monday (Oct. 10th., 2016).

Next steps...

Later, in class, we'll be sharing our findings in small groups.

Finally, each group will prepare posters about one of the eight planets to present to our friends.

As a class, everyone will also be compiling the details of each of the planets to make a comparative analysis of the planets in our solar system later on. 

So... Are you ready?

The knight at Dawn...

Hey Kids,

Here is the summary of chapters 6/7:

"...Three guards arrest him and Annie. The guards threaten to hang the children the next day. Annie retrieves her flashlight from her backpack and shines a light in their faces, telling them it is a magic wand. The guards are so surprised that they let the children go. Using a map of the castle (from the book) as their guide, they make their way to the castle's wall as their flashlight dims.

They climb over the castle wall and Jack finds a way out. As he couldn't feel the ground, he decides to explore this place feet first. Jack discovers what a precipite is... he falls down to the moat as Annie could not hold him anymore."

I hope you are enjoying this wonderful story. 

Have you researched anything about the medival times, yet? It would be great to have more information about this era, don't you think?

Well.. let's see what happens next...

Hugs,

Ms Taty

Momento Literário...

As crianças do Year 3 tiveram um momento literário especial com a visita da autora de livros infantis Valéria Aguiar, mãe de Mariana Aguiar (Year3A).

Valéria e Mariana contaram a história "A Roseira e o Sapo" que conta como um sapo e uma roseira descobrem que todos têm muito em comum, mesmo nas diferenças, e que podemos, sim, contribuir muito uns com os outros.

Ao final da atividade de leitura, as crianças debateram o tema com Valéria, fizeram sapinhos de origami com Mariana, e ganharam livros autografados. 

Foi certamente uma manhã muito especial!

Agradecemos a Mari e a sua 'mommy' pela gentileza e atenção com todas as crianças do Year3. 

As bibliotecas de cada casa se encheram de carinho após esta visita!

Thanks a lot. We loved it!

Olimpíadas 2015

Hey Year 3,

As olimpíadas foram muito legais, não? Vivenciamos o verdadeiro espírito de equipe, de liderança e de partilha. Foram dias de muita torcida, convivência em grupo e aprendizado.

Parabéns a todos que participaram!
