Recent Learning in the Classroom

We've been busy learning about procedural texts and their uses. Students are currently working on creating a how-to video about a topic of their choice using iMovie. If Ms. Melanie can figure out how to share them on Blogger, you can see their work soon. The backup option is to send a flash drive to school and I'll copy them for you. The finished product should be available by the end of the week.

Grab a Good Book and Read!

On Friday, October 25th, we participated in the Readathon. It was organized by the Student Action Council as part of the ongoing celebration of IST's 50th birthday.

Our Kindergarten Buddies

We are buddy classrooms with Ms. King's kindergarten class this year. We have met to read with each other and share our writing.

OUR BODY SYSTEMS

Ready? It's showtime!

3W teamed up with 3R to share their knowledge from our human body unit. They sang an awesome rap, Our Body Systems, that was composed and arranged by Ms. Natalie. It was a hit, and I still get the song stuck in my head when I think about it. I'm sure the third graders will not soon forget the functions of each system they sang about and performed actions to represent.

Time to Catch Up on Happenings in 3W!

October flew by without any posts, but the fun and learning was definitely taking place in and out of the classroom. Here are some highlights from the past few weeks.

The third graders experienced their first Interhouse sports event. Each house showed their spirit by sporting their house colors and chanting their house cheer with great enthusiasm.
