Grade 3 Multicultural Day

Today was a very exciting day for our class. It was Multicultural Day for the grade three students. Our class took part in a variety of sessions with all three of the grade 3 teachers. The lunch was a highlight for most of the kids. The food came from the four countries we have been studying: India, Ukraine, Peru and Tunisia. It was delicious!

Below are some pictures of the class at their first session with Mrs. Windsor creating Peruvian art.







Next our class visited Miss Hansen where they drew and coloured their very own mandalas from India.





We had a group of wonderful volunteer parents who cooked all of the food, set it up, served us and then cleaned up afterwards. We are very grateful from all of their hard work. All of the students tried something new; I was so impressed!







After lunch our class went over to Mrs. Vasseur's classroom where we learned to speak a bit of the Ukrainian language and learned a Ukrainian dance. The students did an awesome job!







Overall, it was a very successful day! Thanks to all of the parents for their support in making Multicultural Day so memorable.

Christmas Spirit is in the Air

As our class counts down the days until Christmas, we have been busy doing all sorts of Christmas activities in the class room and in the community. 

Last week we had the opportunity to visit the Santa's Anonymous workshop. It was amazing to see all of the food, clothing and toy donations that have come in from people in the community. The students got the see what typically goes into a Santa's Anonymous basket and how it gets packed before being sent off to a family or person in need.






This Monday we took a walk to the Sundre Hospital. While we were there we presented the long term care patients with Christmas cards that the students had made. It was wonderful to see the senior's faces light up will the kids talked to them. We even got to sing a few Christmas carols while we were there.








On Tuesday night this week, many students and their families dropped by the classroom for our Christmas open house. It was wonderful to see all of the siblings and parents that were able to come. The students and their families got pretty creative with the Reindeer Gift Bag craft!














Our class wishes all of you a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!

We would love to hear what you think about our Christmas blog post.
