Ryker - Be good and have manners also. Be responsible and don't swear kids, it's a no-no. Have fun in grade 3!

Oscar - In grade 3 you need to now work hard and don't slack-off. You shouldn't interrupt or do anything bad. You should work together only if you don't need to work individually.

Emily - Don't swear at other kids. Don't be rude to other kids or the teacher.

Juliana - In grade three if you don't have an iPad ask Mme cause she can print you information you need for the projects on the iPads. Don't do inappropriate stuff on the iPads. Mme DeSousa is the best teacher in the world. I hate to leave Mme DeSousa.

William - In grade 3 you need to do a lot of group work so you need to know how to work with other people. You are also allowed to have water bottles on your desk.

Jessica - In grade three you have to listen or you won't get to do fun things. You will have to remember a lot of things and don't interrupt. You will have lots of fun!!!!!

Joshua - In grade 3 you need to learn manners. If you think to say an inappropriate word to a person keep it inside. If you're outside don't push, punch or kick and if the teacher is talking don't, I'm saying don't, interrupt.

Jaden - In grade 3 try to use juicy words! Do not interrupt Mme.

Cassidy - When you're in grade 3 be responsible for your stuff you take out, you have to put it away where you found it. Try to be good for the whole year. Be good to your friends and like my teacher Mme DeSousa.

Kiera - In Mme DeSousa's class never, not ever, talk back or roll your eyes and always be nice. If you get homework do it because Mme will either make you go to homework club or have extras. (copies) Always do your home reading. Never ever, ever, be inappropriate, never swear or type bad stuff on the iPads. Do what you're told. Always cooperate, never rip someone's work or hurt someone. Never have a fit or a spaz attack.

Journal Entries

Comments about a news story we watched and read about:
Bradi B. - I think it is very crazy, wrong, rude, unkind and unfair that people are stealing goose eggs from geese. People should respect nature and just slow down!

Emily - I think we should reduce the amount of cars instead of geese.

Jessica - You can fix a car all you want, but you can't rebuild a goose!

Prestyn - It's heart breaking. You can fix a car instead of killing nature.

Assiniboine Park Trip:
Jaden - Today I went to the Assiniboine Park Conservatory and Nature Playground.

Colton - First we learned about plant adaptations.

Oscar - We learned about plant adaptations, it's how they survive without important things to survive (food, water, space and sunlight).

Kiera - We got to go in their rainforest and we got to feel, look and touch red wigglers.

William - We had two presentations about plants and soil. We also ate lunch in the Nature Playground.

Holly - Did you know that there are plants that smell like mint and popcorn?

Ryker - I saw four turtles and a lot of fish. There was a turtle in the fish pond!

Elsir - I discovered an ant hill and red wigglers, that's a type of worm. We used trowels to dig things up.

Brady P. - It was disgusting playing with worms!

Braxton - My favourite part was when we went on a scavenger hunt in the indoor rainforest and we learned about adaptations. We also played Simon Says in the rainforest, it was fun.

Chase - I learned a lot more about plants than I used to know!

Things we learned:
Andreas - My favourite thing was chapter books like Charlotte's Web.

Sara - My favourite part of grade 3 was Charlotte's Web because it's a great book.

Talia - We learned how to use Keynote, it was fun! Everybody did a different country on Keynote and everybody tried.

Emily - This year my favourite activity was working in our book for handwriting. I like handwriting because it looks really fancy.

Cassidy - On Cinco de Mayo we ate lots of Mexican foods. We were reading Charlotte's Web and then we watched the movie. The end was heartbreaking.

Oscar - Also, I really liked gym, I got good exercise with M. Senecal. I will really miss Mme DeSousa.
