How to Blow a Bubble

This week we will wrap up our unit on Sequencing by writing "How-to" paragraphs.

We practiced writing a "How-to" paragraph in cooperative groups. Can you guess what our paragraph was about?

You guessed it...How to Blow a Bubble! Here were some of the finished paragraphs and our art project.

Disguise a Turkey

One of my favorite projects is Disguise a Turkey. Students took home a turkey template and created a unique disguise so their turkey wouldn't get eaten on Thanksgiving. We used them as inspiration in writing to use quotation marks with what the turkey might say.

Here are some of the most unique...

Oreo Moon Phases

Studying the Sun

This week we started our Objects in the Sky science unit. Here are some picks from our shadow experiment. We watched how our shadows moved from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm.

Don't forget to complete the moon calendar each night.  If you happen to miss the moon, you can check out this calendar online.

myLinkCloud

While searching for an organizational tool, I found something that I have been looking for for a very long time...a way to organize all my 3rd grade links that, most importanly, I can SHARE with students and parents.  It's called myLinkCloud and is super easy to set-up and use.  Here is my myLinkCloud.

While I was preparing myLinkCloud, I also learned how to take a screen shot on my mac!  If you hold down command-shift-4, you can take a specific screen shot.  Exciting stuff!

Capitalization Machine

This week, we learned about proper capitalization. We read a book then made posters about the six rules of capitalization. Here are a few posters the groups shared...

Fall Frolic

Here's Owen and Nathan with our mascot.

Family and friends got to check out our persuasive pumpkin patch writing, too.

Special thanks to the PTA who did an awesome job at the Frolic.  Check out them on Facebook to stay updated with the event.

Downtown Millville Class Trip

This week, we had our class trip to downtown Millville.  

Our first stop was at the Levoy Theatre to see the Zinghoppers perform.

Then, we got a tour from a staff member at the Levoy. We were able to go on stage...

We felt how it was to be an actor on stage.

We saw all the signatures downstairs where the actors sign after they perform at the theatre.

Lee took us into the make-up room.

She also took us upstairs to see the balcony and chandelier.

From the Levoy we picked up lunch and took it to City Hall.

And finally, we met Mayor Shannon! It was a great day!
