Paul Revere House

Featured Blogger: Gavin

Hi I’m GAVIN

On Thursday May 4th the  Paul Revere House

staff came to the 3rd graders and talked

about Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Every

person got to play a part. Alex was Paul

Revere, he was so lucky that he got it. I was

Samuel Adams!

We had lots of fun learning about the

midnight ride.

Amazing 13 Colonies

Featured Blogger: Angel

Hi my name is Angel and I'm going to tell you about what we learned about the 13 colonies in 3Sp.  We learned that people came to the new world because they were not happy in England.   They could have been doing something else with their lives.  People traveled to worship others.  They came from other lands.  The trip was often long and dangerous.  It could take two months or longer.  Storms often pounded the small ships.  Sometimes there wasn't enough food on the ship.  Many people got sick and died.  

In the 1700s, there were almost two million colonies.  A lot of families came from Britain.  King George lll taxed the colonists on tea, paper, glass, lead, and paint.  The colonists were angry and started rebelling.  Then the British made more and more taxes and made the colonists more and more angry.  Then, they rebelled more and more!  After that, the British got rid of all the taxes except the tea tax.  But the colonists were still upset because they thought it was unfair.  They wanted freedom instead of being controlled by England.  I don’t want to spoil the rest for you so you should read books about it so you can learn about it!

Learning About the American Revolution

Featured Blogger: Jessica

Today I am going to be teaching you about what we have been learning about in school.

Here are the subjects we were learning about on the American Revolution.  The Boston Tea Party, Tea Act, Battles at Lexington And Concord, Intolerable Acts, Sugar, Stamp, And Quartering Acts, Sons And Daughters Of Liberty, Townshend Act, and the Boston Massacre.  We have many groups and each group has 4 different people, and each person writes about one of those topics but there are different parts to it.  There is part 1, and part 2, we are on part 2 and we are done with the parts.  There are only 2 parts to the article and we are done with both, so we are done with the entire study of the articles.  

Now to get to some interesting facts about the Boston Massacre which I wrote about.  It started in 1770 and it was the Redcoats/British soldiers vs Patriots/Colonists.  The Colonists were angry that the British were in their country.  British were keeping watch over the Patriots.  The fight broke out in the Boston Common, 5 Colonists were killed, and I will also share some facts on The Boston Tea Party so let’s get started.  The Boston Tea Party started in 1773 the the Patriots were angry about the taxes on tea so they gave up drinking tea.  The Patriots got angry and threw tea off of ships in the middle of the night, they ended up throwing 342 boxes of tea off of the ships.  I hope you learned a few facts on The Boston Massacre, and The Boston Tea Party.

Pollinators Declining

Featured Blogger: Will

Guy 1:Did you hear that the pollinators population is dying out?

Guy 2:Yeah and without them there'd be almost NO DESSERT!

G1:We have to speak up to save them!

G2:OMG I just thought of a GREAT IDEA! We could make signs, go to town and protest to save the pollinators! We will become…THE POLLINATOR SAVIORS!

G1:Na dude that sounds SO LAME!

G2:Yeah I guess you're  right.

G1:But the signs and protesting are an OUT OF THIS WORLD IDEA!

G2:Thanks!

G1:We could also set up a lemonade stand, ice cream stand etc. and donate all of our profits to saving pollinators!

G2:Now THAT is an OUT OF THIS WORLD IDEA!

G1:Thanks man!

G2:Ok let's roll!

G2+G1 advice:JUST TRY TO SAVE POLLINATORS! DO WHAT WE DID!!!!!!

Now the information!!!!!!!

Pollination helps humans get stuff we need like fruit. say you have an orange or apple related thing like juice without pollinators you wouldn't have that juice! And say you're having dessert at your house without pollinators you Wouldn't have it! We need pollinators to help us with lots of things.

The end.

Biographies

Featured Blogger: Kian

3Sp is doing biographies.  You get to choose a great changer.  A great changer is someone who changed people's lives in a good way.  I personally chose Muhammad Ali.  Everyone got to make a note card for when they were born and one for when they died.  Everyone also got to make at least three notecards about their great changer’s early life, 3 things that make them a great changer, and 3 things about their later life.  By the way did you know that Muhammad Ali’s real name is Cassius Clay?  Did you also know that when Cassius was 12 he was featured on a local TV show called Tomorrow's Champions?  It wasn’t exactly the next day he became a champion but he was definitely a champion.  Everyone is learning a lot about their great changer!

Flora and Ulysses

Featured Blogger: Tessa

In snack we are reading a new book. It is called Flora And Ulysses. Flora is a girl and Ulysses is a squirrel. Flora’s mom and dad got divorced. Ulysses get’s vacuumed up by the Ulysses 2000X when he gets vacuumed up his tail is sticking out of the Ulysses 2000X and that’s how it all began. Flora thought that Ulysses was dead but just to make sure, she pushed on its tiny belly and Ulysses heard singing and a voice saying “breath! breath!”  

Ulysses wakes up after Flora’s mother goes inside Flora smuggles Ulysses inside but Ulysses gets into some mischief.  Ulysses eats some cheese puffs and he gets it all over his fingers. Ulysses writes on Flora’s mother’s typewriter and gets orange powder all over it and it’s her typewriter that she uses for work.  Flora’s mother thinks Flora did it because Flora’s mother doesn't know that Flora smuggled Ulysses in.  But then … Ms. Tootie has came over to talk to Flora about something.  But when Flora goes to get the page that Ulysses typed up and hides it under her pajama top.... Ulysses get’s into some trouble.  He goes on top of a lamp that her mother calls Mary Ann.  But Ms. Tootie and Flora’s mother see Ulysses and and her mother starts yelling “Flora Belle Flora Belle!  Come here right now.  This is not funny.”  But then Ms. Tootie’s nephew comes over and his name is William Spiver.  William Spiver says he is temporarily blind and he won’t take off his glasses.  The lenses of his glasses are dark so you can’t see his eyes. Then her mother says that they can’t live with a squirrel.  But then Flora says that Ulysses is special so what does she do?  You will have to read the book to find out!

Making Noises

Featured Blogger: Matt

In 3Sp we are making noises with recycling materials.  It was so so so fun!  A scale of  1 to 10: it was a 10.  Some people made drums and guitars.  We had to make a plan and draw our instrument.  Next we built our instrument. Some people used tissue boxes and other recycling materials. I made a drum mixed up with a guitar mixed up with a maraca.  Angel made a maraca.  Angel and I shared together because it would make louder noises.   Our instruments sounded loud together! We have to end it here. Bye!

Here are some pictures of how everyone’s instruments came out!
