We learned about the six steps in the writing process. In small groups, we thought about what writers do at each step.
We shared our thinking with other groups.
We grew new ideas about the steps and added these ideas to our posters.

Numbers are all around us. We identified eight significant numbers in our lives and created individual posters.
We drew pictures to show others the meaning of our numbers.
We shared our work with each other to get to know each other a little better.
We Are All Connected

Connecting all our names together was a great way metaphor for showing us as a connected team!
C.S.I (Colour, Symbol, Image)
One of our favorite visible thinking routines is the C.S.I. (Colour, Symbol, Image). For this activity, students thought about the year ahead in Grade three. They were asked to think abstractly and try to come up with a colour, a symbol, and an image that represented their feelings.
They used a page in their Learning Journals to draw these, and then afterward, the had an opportunity to share their work.
Sharing and reflecting on our classroom activities and learning is a powerful way to deepen our understanding.
It's also a great way to get to know one another!
Extraordinary Us!
We read a book today about how an ordinary day at school became extraordinary when a teacher sparked the imaginations of his students. We took some time in small groups to think about what makes each of us extraordinary.
We collected all our ideas and created posters that showcased all the things we identified. We displayed them on the classroom wall to remind us of our strengths and how we are stronger together!
Extraordinary Us!
The Chain Gang!
As we found more similarities with our classmates, our chain grew and grew until we had a huge chain stretching nearly across our classroom!
Our chain represents our togetherness and our teamwork!
