Earth Day Unit

 

Our Earth Day unit began by reading “A Mr. Rubbish Mood.” This led to discussions about how we can save our Earth and make it a better place to live. From there, students wanted to persuade other classes to join them in their efforts to “save the world.” We discussed persuasive writing and shared examples, including student examples and real life commercials/ads. Students made a difference starting in their school environment by choosing to either pick up litter or plant flowers. The students were successful in persuading others because other classes have responded by writing letters, making videos, sharing what they will do at home, and/or planting flowers to help our Earth. We are so proud of our 3^rd graders!!!!!

Researching in Third Grade

We are researching our notes in our Social Studies Unit on Regions of South Carolina. We finished researching and then had to find a way to represent our information. We chose to use a graffitti board (words and pictures) to present our findings to the class.

The Six Geographical Regions of South Carolina

We have been learning about the different regions of South Carolina and the students learned a song to help them remember the names of all the regions. Here is some of them performing the song!

Getting Started in Third Grade

We are off to a great start! Right now we are learning a lot of procedures, rules, and how OCD Ms. Donald is. :) I can tell this is just going to be a fantastic year.
