Some students are using WIN time to research topics they're passionate about. These classmates taught us about maltipoos, tigers, and dinosaurs. We enjoyed meeting with our book clubs in the courtyard on Wednesday afternoon. It was fun to read outdoors. On Wednesday, we honored our favorite book characters. Some of us even dressed up! During science, we had fun drawing marbles out of a "Mother" and a "Father" bag to see which color fur our litter of puppies would have. No two teams got the same results. We're learning lots about how traits are inherited from parents and how they can vary between siblings. The third graders had fun creating surveys, collecting data from their peers, and designing bar graphs to share their results. The class learned a lot of interesting information from these passion time presentations. We learned about cougars, m-bots, shark attacks, hamsters,and how different animals see. Thanks for sharing your research with us! The third graders participated in a fruit market simulation while learning about supply and demand in social studies. Some friends were sellers and others were buyers. It was interesting to see how much fruit was bought and sold at the market and at what price the fruit was sold. To culminate our poetry unit, the students participated in a Poetry Slam. Each poet had a chance to sit in the author's chair and read three of their original poems. It was lots of fun! Our class really enjoyed participating in the "Global Day of Design." Dr. Lynn challenged us to design and build a prototype that could solve a problem at Greenbrier. We had some really creative and cool inventions ranging from a band aid dispenser, a school supply organizer, a cord separator, a slide accelerator, a trampoline playground floor, and a pencil dispenser. We definitely have some future engineers among us! |
