Writing

Third graders wrote opinion letters to leaders around the world including prime ministers, presidents, governors, and mayors. These were very passionate essays including several reasons and supporting details to convince leaders to take action. Recently, we walked to the post office to drop our letters in the mail!

Just how big is a square meter?

Students embarked on a challenging endeavor. They attempted to create one meter squares and one foot squares from smaller pieces of paper. Through the process students started to realize that the area of a square meter is quite big!

We learn math at school so we can use it in the real world. 3G put their learning to the test measuring liquid volume in cylindrical beakers, measuring cups, and pitchers. It can be surprisingly fun!

Word Work

How does one make word work interesting and engaging? Make it messy! We practiced recalling “tri-” words by writing them in shaving cream.

Bonus: The desks were super clean and the whole room smelled fresh after this activity! 😀

Please join us to celebrate third graders’ learning about how to research. Students have worked very hard to research and present an exhibition to share with the school community.

The latest Fun Day had a messy theme – slime! Students created slime buddy characters, wrote stories about them, made Gloop or Oobleck, watched a funny movie, and of course, played with slime.

Some of our students participated in the French School assembly, showing off their performing arts and language skills! Bravo!

Milkshakes!

We wrapped up our IPC “Shake It!” unit with milkshakes. Students used their own handcrafted whisks to whip up their milkshakes with extra tasty mix-ins. It was a loud and exciting finale to the unit.

Writing

3G showed such focus as they were working toward their publishing deadline for their small moment personal narratives. Students showed off all their skills bringing their true stories through the writing process all the way to publishing. Everyone in the class published on time!

3G students designed and created their own original whisks for frothing milk. We’re looking forward to making milkshakes! After drafting a plan on paper, students set out to bring their design to life with wires and ingenuity.

Grammar Scavenger Hunt

Ms. Mukhi shared some photos from 3G’s mini scavenger hunt. Students searched for small tasks cards placed around the room – some in obvious locations, others more obscure – then, tried to correct the quotation mistakes.
