We Belong

The religious theme for Grade 3 focuses on belonging. In our classroom, we will be sharing how we belong to a circle of friends as well as how we gather together with Jesus as our guide.

The Grade 3 symbol that we added to our Prayer Table this week is the Gathering Tent. Students discussed what it means to belong and how it makes them feel. Students used words such as comfortable, happy, nice, kind, beautiful, fluffy, good, relaxing and strong. We shared how the Gathering Tent is special place where we can come together and make it a home place where we can feel we all belong. We all traced our hands and wrote about how belonging makes us feel. Our tent is now hanging over our Prayer Table. It looks lovely!!

Another way we feel we belong is by welcoming all Grade 3 friends into our classroom. We have many new friends this year, as well as friends in Mr. Bob's class who learn with us fairly often. We all signed our Golden Rules and shared our friendship promises by creating a Friendship Tree!
Students signed the Golden Rules as a promise to try to follow them each day.
Students who would like to add more examples of belonging to our Padlet thinking can do so below!
