Kung Hei Fat Choi! Happy Lunar New Year! We had fun learning about Chinese New Years and the significance behind it. Together, all five of the grade 3 classes came together to create a collective art project, representing the “Year of the Dragon.” @rvsed

We have been exploring the country of India and have been learning all about its landforms. Using prior knowledge of mapping, students had the chance to work together to create maps of India, showing all the different regions.

All week, we have been learning about moccasins, Métis bead work and design, Louis Riel, the different Indigenous groups in Alberta and so much more! Today, we created our own moccasins and connected them to our identities. Thank you to Mrs. K for helping us today! @rvsed

We were so lucky to be included in the Indigenous Song and Story Teller class taught by Chantal Chagnon @Stormshadowsong .Students listened to some stories and were taught a traditional song on the drum. What a great day!

The Gr. 3’s had fun exploring different forms of text through a special edition newspaper. They learned about the different ways animals help the army and about the famous animals that helped soldiers during war. #RememberanceDay #literacy @rvsed

We had an absolute blast today on our field trip to the Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller!Thanks to all the parents for helping out! @RoyalTyrrell

We have enjoyed getting to know our Kindergarten Reading Buddies these past few weeks!

The Grade 3’s are working hard to learn some skills for our basketball unit!

For Truth and Reconciliation Day, we came together as a school to share our “classroom story” through a circle ceremony with our grade cohorts. Students then added their “identity feathers” to their class story poster as a way to connect themselves. #orangeshirtday

In honour of Terry Fox, our class created these Terry Fox inspired art pieces with two goals for the year. One school goal and one health goal written on the sole of each shoe. #TerryFoxRun #terryfoxart

It was fantastic having Fred Fox present to our school this past week and then run, walk and wheel in honour of Terry on Friday. Students were very excited to help keep his legacy going. #TerryFoxRun @TerryFoxCanada

We have enjoyed learning from one another and sharing what is most dear to us through our “All About Me” projects. Presenting these items is a great way to build confidence and inclusion.

How many ways do you know how to represent a number? Here’s a brainstormed list of all the different ways that our Grade 3 class could think of. This is an excellent start for our place value unit!

Team building activities help children learn to work together, problem solve, communicate effectively, build positive self-esteem, work cooperatively and so much more. We are having a blast getting to know one another.

We had so much fun looking for the most valuable, weirdest and largest item during our Helping Hands event. Students did an excellent job helping clean up the garbage in our fields for Earth week. @FiresideRVS

For Bus Driver Appreciation Day, we made cards and were so excited to hand them out to our amazing bus drivers! Thank you for all that you do to keep our students safe everyday! @FiresideRVS
