Through Our Lenses By Matthew & Miles

Have you ever made a book that might go worldwide? Well 3N & 3B made a book filled with our essays. We made it on a website called Tik-a-Tok. All of the kids in third grade have two essays in this book that we made on Tik-a-Tok. A lot of us wrote about how the world can be a happy place even if it isn't as happy as it could be now. But most of us wrote about everyday things like playing your Nintendo DSi,or playing soccer,or even singing with your siblings. When we found out it was going to be a book we were all excited but we also thought it was a big deal!

End Of PSSA's! By Matthew and Eric

For a long time (6 days) 3N has been working on completing the PSSA's (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) and we are finally DONE! The PSSA's are big tests that you take in 3rd Grade and higher. For us in third grade all we had to do is Math and Reading but some people have to do it for Math Reading Science and more. As a celebration for are finish the 3rd grade got to play the Wii (Sports) together since the day we finished it snowed. If you ever have to take a big test make sure you do your best!

Functional Writing! By Matthew

This blog post is on Functional Writing which is a subject we have been studying in writing. Well, really we have finished this topic in writing but I am writing about it a little late. In this writing unit 3N had to make a how-to. My how-to was on laptops HOW TO USE YOUR VERY FIRST LAPTOP BY MATTHEW. The how-to we made had to have a: -List of Materials -A body (The real how-to) -Plus some pictures that were added after we were done the typing.

Keeping Track of THIS BLOG! By Matthew

When ever you read our posts and follow us it will appear on a Clustr Map. Since we like to find out where our blog has been we will keep track of this Clustr Map with a map of the world. When ever a new dot appears on the Map we have to get a thumb tack and tack the tack to the place or location of the city.

Suffix's By Matthew

In 3N we have been working on learning suffix's. In the past weeks we've been learning all kinds of suffix's and this is how we learn them. Step1. The teacher displays the words we will use and the suffix's. Step2. The students come up and drag a word to the correct suffix. We will also listen to songs sometimes that go with the suffixs.




This is good for kids because it is hands on and that is how most kids learn.

3D By Matthew

As I said in Lines Of Symmetry I am here to post on 3D Shapes. 3N has been studying 3D shapes for a couple of days now. My favorite lesson on the subject of 3D is one where we had to tell the teacher what the  3D shape was that was displayed on the SMART Board.

This lesson on 3D is important because kids should know what shape is which. Imagine calling a sphere a cube!

Lines Of Symmetry By Matthew

Hello! Its me again! Today I am here to tell you all about shapes and their lines of symmetry. In 3N we have been working on Geometry and have started symmetry. 3N has had a couple of lessons about symmetry but I would like to talk about one lesson about symmetry that I liked. As always we had three centers for math, Mrs.Neft, Moodle-Math, and Math Boxes. I liked Math Boxes best because at that station we had to write symmetrical letters with at least one line of symmetry. It was fun.

A Movie By Matthew

Remember how there was a post on this bog about movies? If you don't understand what that was about here is an example...

Winter Songs By Matthew

Have you ever had a concert or something else you had to really work and practice at? Do you have an event like this one coming up? 3N does! The class has been practicing very hard at the song the will be singing at the Winter Concert. Everyday in a time that would normally be filled with Science and Social Studies, 3N pairs up with the other third grade class, 3G and starts to practice their song. Since the whole school is participating we can hear other students practicing their songs as well. We are happy and waiting for the Winter Concert.


The Winter Concert is a great way for kids to be prepared to preform on stage and it helps them to enjoy singing with others. 


 

Which one is Personifacation? By Matthew

Which one is Personification? I think its that one-or that one-no that one! November sixteenth 3N learned about Personification. The activity was... 3N was given  a list of words with a picture of a star next to them. The students picked a sentence and moved the star. If there was a little star under the picture of a star then that was Personification.




The purpose of this lesson was to teach the students the difference between Metaphor,Simile ,and Personification
