What books do you like to read?

Well, in school, my class is reading From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Every time we read a chapter, we have to respond on a question our teacher ask us. The main characters in it are: Claudia, Jamie and Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.



In the book, they are trying to find out who made the Angel statue. They wondered if the Angel statue was made by Michelangelo.  The whole story started out when Jamie and Claudia wanted to run away from their home. Claudia wanted to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That is where they stayed for 1 to 3 days. They didn't want to be seen because if they were, someone will take them home and they don't want to go home. (Here is a funny part.) So Claudia wanted to get clean and there was not a tub in the museum, so they went in a fountain without their clothes on! Now they found Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler's house and they found out who made the angel statue. It was MICHELANGELO!

third grades field trip to the wissahicon watershed by:lauren donofrio

Have you ever been on a field trip to a creek before well both third grade classes at Mattison Ave went to the wissahicon watershed. We learned a bunch of stuff at the watershed, for example we learned about baby animals and how they are cared for and we also learned about different animals that live in the wissahicon watershed like muskrats, snakes, foxes, caterpillars, ducks, flying squirrels, and craw fish. Third grade saw the rapid waters and believe me they were rapid waters and the person their told us not to get close to the edge of the water or else we would fall in and get taken away by the water. Third grade also got divided into 6 groups and when we got divided into 6 groups, all the groups went on a scavenger hunt and we had to find things like muskrat holes, paw prints, a decaying log, skat, animal path ways, scratch marks on trees and bugs.
keywords
skat = animal droppings
animal path ways = paths covered in leafs but the leafs are cleared away for a path

In 3N we have been learning about rocks and Minerals in Science. To do this we have been seeing some YouTube posts on rocks and minerals and we are also doing an activity with them. All the students of 3N are making a ComicLife about the main kinds of rocks (Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic).
