Bubblegum Day

To kick off I Love to Read Month, we participated in Bubble Gum day, inspired by the book Lester Fizz: Bubblegum Artist, by Ruth Spiro.  We were fortunate enough to have the author join us via Skype, read her story and answer questions we had about bubblegum and writing.


Today we had Bubble gum day.  We went to an assembly and Skyped with a lady that wrote a book about gum. - Sofiya
Today we Skyped with Ruth Spiro and she read us a story about gum. - Kaleigh
We had Bubblegum Day and in order to chew gum we need to bring 50 cents, which went to buying new books for our school library.  We were allowed to bring our own packs, but we couldn't share unless we had enough for everyone.  Then we had a special assembly for an author who wrote Lester Fizz: Bubblegum Artist.  She read us the book so we didn't have to. - Zoe

Vowel Song

In class we were having a conversation about vowels and the strategy of flipping the vowel sound from short to long, when I realized that not all of us knew which letters of the alphabet were the vowels.  So we came up with this song to remember both the letters and the two sounds each of them can make, an idea I got from a lovely grade 1 teacher.

Here is our vowel song:

Here we come the 2018-19 school year about to begin!

I am very excited to be teaching grade 3 again this year.  I have been fortunate enough to meet all my students already and I can't wait...
