Fun way to start off our new unit on 'Balanced Choices'

We started this unit with a hands on activity where students had to build stable structures using different materials.  Through this engaging activity was followed by a story of a picky eater.  Students could make clear connections with how is it important to create a balance in life.

How will we create a balance?
Why do we need a balance?
How may hours do we need to sleep?

These were few of the questions which arose from the activity.

Earth Day Assembly by Grade 3 students

Mission accomplished  !!!! Earth day assembly was merged very well with grade 3's present unit on natural resources. Students presented a scenario where few natural resources were no more available on Earth. They showcased this by creating RIP signs of water, trees, coal and air. 

The assembly was planned to make everyone aware of these resources which play a very important role in maintaining a balance in nature The message was powerful and meaningful. It got the audience thinking about their actions as citizens of the world.

The students did so well today :) I feel really proud to be a grade 3 teacher and hope these kids continue being more aware and responsible towards their surroundings. Bravo Grade 3 !!  

I will be posting the videos of the assembly very soon.

Story of Freddie the Fish

To make the students aware of the effects of water pollution on the creatures whose home is water,  I read a story of Freddie.

I am glad that this story made the students think of the effects of water pollution and how it is very difficult to clean up dirty water.

Expressing through art

Students created art work related to 🌍 day.  They could make clear connections with their present unit on natural resources.  Students used different mediums to create their art work. However, soft pastels were their favourite :)
