Grade 3

What's Up Grade 3!

by Miss Ether Bae

In grade three, we learned the importance of passing on family traditions and making a new tradition to pass on to their children, such as going to church every Christmas Eve to pray and worship. Another is stopping traditions. For example, stop giving offerings to our ancestors because we shall not bow to any other gods but God. The students understand and act by applying what they are learning to their lives. It is encouraging to see how they are making active decisions to become better and do what is right in God’s eyes.

On that note, students are also learning the effect of what the past has had on the future. For example, in this unit, students learn about wars and how one action and culture affected the other. The discussion helps them know what needs to be changed and how to prevent it from happening by looking back, reflecting, and taking action to make changes for the better. Students expressed their understanding in either a quilt or armour and presented it to their class. It was encouraging to see how the students knew just what they want to pass on to their future generations.
