Today we kicked off our book clubs! The students were so excited to read with each other. Can't wait to see how the discussions go tomorrow! :) Our class thoroughly enjoyed reading and writing poems during our poetry unit of study. On Wednesday afternoon we had a "Poetry Slam" to celebrate our learning. Each student in our class read two or three of their original poems. It was so fun! We have some very creative writers in third grade. Some of our classmates gave "Passion Time" presentations on topics they've researched in recent weeks. We learned lots of cool facts about falcons, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and Russell Westbrook! Way to go! This week during science we studied various types of severe weather. Teams of students read case studies about actual hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, droughts, and blizzards. They also learned about the tools scientists use to help them try and predict these events. Later in the week, our third grade engineers designed prototypes of contraptions that could reduce the effects of their type of severe weather. We have some very creative friends! |
