What happened in Hamilton
Grade 3 Exit Point Our Grade 3 students showcased their learning for their topic, “Island Life.” The children dressed as teachers so that parents could have an educational experience. Throughout the Exit Point, parents tried a number of activities based on what Grade 3 had learned during the topic. At the beginning of the Exit Point, students performed the "Water Cycle Song" and welcomed their parents. Students questioned parents on what tools they would need to survive, using coordinates to find locations, the water cycle, pattern making and writing a postcard from their island. Parents particularly enjoyed testing themselves on our Kahoot! game to find out how much they had learned.
