Snail Fun

Mrs. Liddell used an iPad app called Stop Motion Studio Pro HD to take pictures over time and turn them into a video. This video she made is of snails over a 2-hour time period. Notice how the snails not only eat a lot but also how they move things. FUN! - Mr. Kimzey

Water Lily Art Project with Ms. Mac

Monet's Garden
Last month, we celebrated the work of Claude Monet. The students learned lots of things about this famous Impressionist. Inspired by his beautiful water gardens, my grade three classes tried to ‘bottle’ those beautiful colours with their waterlily project. Students covered bottle in various shades of blue and green tissue paper. They painted waterlilies on the bottles, trying to make it look like there was a hint of sunlight bouncing off the edge of the lily pads.

Tumble Books

We watched Ace Lacewing Bug Detective on Tumble Books today.  This website is a great resource for epicture books.

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break filled with plenty of good times and relaxation.  Thank you again for all of the fabulous and generous gifts.   Remember that tomorrow, Monday the 14th, is a late start day for students.  

End of the First Semester

Students have surely had an amazing learning adventure during the first semester of third grade!

Reading
Our units focused on how to build a reading life, follow characters through the book, and having deeper conversations about the books we read.

Writing
Students were exposed to writing small moment stories about their own life, using poetic devices to craft poetry, and follow the paragraph structure to tell about facts or persuade a reader of their opinion.

Math
Basic math facts (addition, subtraction, and multiplication) recall is essential as well as being able to explain the mathematic concept behind them.  These facts are then applied to problem solving, which also has a key component of being able to explain the process of how the problem was solved.

Science
Students should know the parts of the plant life cycle, be able to identify a germinated seed, and developed knowledge of the hydroponics technique used to grow plants.

Social Studies
Inventions and how these inventive technologies have changed over time was a major concept covered in this unit.   Students not only showed these changes in a Google presentation and/or a timeline, but they also needed to be able to explain in words how their particular piece of technology changed.  The culminating assessment was the creation of their own invention and presenting it to their peers at the Invention Convention.
