Fall Painting

 "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower"

                                                                                 -Albert Camus

We have had another busy week in grade 3. We continue to work on being grateful, kind and continue to take care of each other in our community of learning inside the school and out. This week we have continued to each add one word to our gratitude pumpkin and students are very excited to see how full it is getting.

The beautiful weather inspired us all this week to create a fall art piece that included Aspen trees. We compared Aspen trees to our community of learning and learned that the trees take care of each other in their community through their root system.
