EARTH SCIENCE

Experimenting with mock rocks in order to understand that rocks are a combination of different materials.

Earth’s materials can be broken down and/or combined into different materials such as

rocks, minerals, rock cycle, formation of soil, and sand – some of which are usable resources
for human activity.

As students learn how igneous rock is formed they experiment with reproductions of volcanos.

Life Cycles

As 3rd graders explore " The duration and timing of life cycle events such as reproduction and longevity vary across organisms and species" we chart the life cycle of a chicken from egg to chick.

Kindness Week

Kindness Week was all about "Taking the Challenge" and finding how we could apply random acts of kindness in our everyday lives.  My 3rd graders felt inspired by.... "Every great dream begins with a dreamer.  Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patients, and the passion to reach for the stars and change the world." ~ Harriet Tubman  As a class we took the pledge of kindness, as individuals we each had a personal dream we shared.
