World of Wonder

In the past few weeks, the students have been reading Trumpet of The Swan. They answered many questions based on the book. One student wrote a Haiku about some baby swans that were born:

Welcome baby swans,

Come greet the world of wonder.

With beautiful leaps.

The Civil Rights Movement

After collaboratively generating a list of essential questions about the Civil Rights, each 3rd grade team designed a presentation using Photostory.  Let's see what they came up with!

Area, Perimeter and Measurement: Crew 42 makes Newspaper Carpets?!

Getting a new carpet? Organizing and plotting your flower bed?  Placing a framed picture on a wall?  Painting a wall?  Building a new house?  The real-life uses of area, perimeter and measurement are all around us.  During this assignment students were given the charge of creating an area rug out of newspaper that was 9 square feet.  They had fun working in teams to accomplish this task, but it was hard work!
