We have had a great week in Grade Three. This week we read a book called “My Mouth is a Volcano” and we talked about calling out and interrupting … how does that make us feel, and how do others feel when we do it to them. It is important to remember that others have important things to share also, and so how can we demonstrate self-control when we feel like we are just erupting with things that need to be said. In Bible this week, we started talking about the Fruit of the Spirit. We talked about love and joy and how God can help us demonstrate those fruits, even when it may be hard. On Wednesday, we talked about Terry Fox. The students spent some time writing about why Terry Fox is a Canadian Hero, and the perseverance that he demonstrated in life. It has been a great week, and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
