Reading and performing

-
This week I have been sharing on a number of books by Roald Dahl. 
Grade 3 decided on The Fantastic Mr. Fox for our first Read-Aloud of the year.


After reading a chapter entitled The terrible shovels, we froze in poses that created a picture of an important moment from the chapter. This is called classroom Tableau.

Making mental images is a strong skill that helps readers increase their understanding of a text. Good readers often have a mental movie that plays in their minds as they read and visualize what is described on the page.

In this tableau we have two angry diggers, Mr. Fox and his four scared children.

Learning from home in our virtual classroom

Dear Grade 3 families, We are now completing our first full week of learning online. It has been challenging and exciting and (I think) at times a little confusing. I really, really appreciate all your support as we adjust to our current circumstances. I wanted to say how proud I am of Grade 3 learners. They have shown themselves to be independent and Thinkers. I have seen some truly impressive and insightful work being shared over the past week. I am also impressed at how well and how quickly learners have developed the technology skills required to communicate and succeed in a virtual classroom. Stay stay, stay happy and health. I hope to see everyone again soon.
