First Week In Third Grade

We had so much fun this week in third grade! I love this picture because it shows all of their crazy personality.  These boys are SO much fun!

One week down!

Welcome to Third Grade!

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer! I am so excited to begin this year. I know that we will learn a lot and have a great time! I can't wait to meet you all.

Reading with our Kindergarten Buddies

Thank you to Mrs. Ryan's class for letting us come and read with your students. We loved seeing the turkey eggs and learned a new word, candling! It was great for the kindergartners to teach us. We also loved being able to sit outside and enjoy the garden Corben helped persuade you to plant!

Planting Flowers

First, when we planted flowers we got the plants. Then we dug up the clay, and had to get black soil. Next, we had to get the flower and put it in the ground. Finally, you had to put the black soil around the flower.

I liked planting the flowers because it was something new and we got to work in groups.

Measurement and Data for Earth Day

We put paint on our handprint, and then put our handpring on the world. Then we measured how long our handprint was. Next, we plotted everyone's handprint on the line dot plot.

Writing Our Persuasive Letter

First, I started my rough draft. Then I had to edit my writing. Finally, I wrote my final draft, which was a persuasive letter to Mrs. Johnson. I wanted them to plant flowers on April 22nd, Earth Day.

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!!!!!
