Team 3Sp on the First Day of School!

Bye Nurse Rahn

Featured Blogger: Keith

This year our school nurse is retiring and being replaced by someone new.  I do know who it is her name is Nurse Naser but no one else knows who it is.  So some kids in our school are making our own video for her in groups. Like me. The video will be about one time or a few times she has helped us with something.  Something like a ingorey or a loose tooth or anything else like that. By the way I’m a third grader so next year when I’m in fourth grade Nurse Rahn will be gone. I hope you enjoyed, bye!

Pollinator Projects

Featured Blogger: Zoey

Hi my name is Zoey. 3Sp did pollinator projects, the first type of pollinator 3Sp did is a butterfly. Then we did another pollinator and to pick we wrote down our first second and third choice on a sticky note we had a choice of ants, opossums, bats, lemurs and hummingbirds. Ms. Sprague our teacher picked which group we would be in, based on our choice, we didn’t all get our first pick but that’s ok. I got hummingbirds that was my first choice. We  were in groups of 4 because there were 4 parts in the project and then we could each have 1 part to do. When we started we had to organize our books into easy, medium and hard. Then we read them after we read them we took notes on the books. When we were done with our notes Ms. Sprague said we could go on to the project. When we were done with that we had to check with Ms. Sprague and if she said it was good we could publish it, but if it needed fixes you had to work on it more. Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you liked reading my blog.

STEM Challenge

Featured Blogger: Kyle

Hi. I’m Kyle. An I will be telling you about the umbrella STEM challenge we did on Friday June 1st.  What does STEM mean? Well the S in STEM means science. The T means technology. The E in STEM means engineering. The M in STEM means math.  What was the STEM challenge? Well the STEM challenge is where you need to build a umbrella and keep a tissue dry. Simple right? But it's not so simple. Why is it not  simple? Well we can only use a certain amount of items which are… 2 pieces of paper, 2 pencils, 2 paper cups, 5 cotton balls, 2 pipe cleaners, 3 rubber bands, 4 pieces of tape, and 3 playing cards. Now you probably think it's hard. But to make it harder we have to make it in 30-45 mins.  How hard do you think it is now? Well that is my blog hope you enjoy. -Kyle

This is me and my group testing our umbrella.

3Sp Research Extension Project

Featured Blogger: Sammy

In writing and reading, 3Sp students have been working on research extension projects which is when we could pick a informational topic that we could research on. For example, I chose dogs, Nathaniel chose Jackie Robinson, and Colin chose Paul Revere and so on and so forth. We had to find at least 2 books on that topic. After or before you had found your 2 books, you would go to the school library and find more books for your topic. After you got as much books as you need, you would start reading. After you’re done reading your books, you start taking notes. After you’re done taking notes, you start making your presentation. Here is the title slide of my presentation:

After that,  you would check with a partner. For example, me and Nathaniel both checked each others projects. Now, believe it or not, you just wait. You wait until Ms. Sprague calls your name to check your work. After you and Ms. Sprague check, you are officially done!!! Now that you know all about research extension projects, I encourage you to do one at your house. See you later on the 3Sp blog!!!

KG Buddies in the Garden

Featured Blogger: Nathaniel

Hello, my name is Nathaniel and I am going to tell you about our KG buddies in the 3-4 garden.  When we were in the garden you and your buddy looked around and if you found something interesting you would draw it on a paper.  I drew a mini tipi. A tipi is a structure that native americans lived in. I saw a lot of papers and they all were good third grade or not.  First when we started drawing we drew in pencil. Next when we were done we colored in what we drew. Finally when everybody was done you and your buddie got to play on the playground.  It was a really, really fun way to spent time with your KG buddie. Thanks for reading my blog about KG buddies in the garden. We will see you next time.

3Sp Shared at Assembly

Featured Blogger: Marley

Hello!

(warning: running out of title ideas)

Hi! It’s so nice to see you again! Its me, Marley! Remember? Yay! Ok, today I will be talking to you about how me and everyone else in 3Sp shared at our latest assembly! As you probably remember (which you don’t), we recently (in late May) had an assembly in the gym, in which 3Sp shared our colonial newspapers. What are the colonial newspapers that we wrote? Results of a time machine, perchance? Well, that answer sure is wrong! We studied and wrote them ourselves! How were we organized? Well, there was the walkers (the people who stood up and walked around the gym to show the newspapers), and the talkers ((haha, it rhymes) the people who talked about our colonial newspapers.) Walkers, talkers, walkers, talkers… ok, I’m getting off task, what was was I saying? Oh, yes, right, well, ummm... I guess I’ll see you later… so… bye!

These are pictures from the assembly.
