Earth Day

The third graders worker so hard on the Earth Day celebration!

Dr.Seuss Scavenger Hunt by Jack

We did a Dr.Seuss scavenger hunt the kindergartners. What we did was one of us had a IPAD and the other had a clipboard and pencil.  With the IPAD we scanned the bar code and a question popped up.  Say the question was what was Dr.Seuss' real name we would look around the library and try to find the answer.  There was 15 questions and we would try to answer them all.  At the end the person with the IPAD used a bar code that would tell you the answers.  It is like a question but instead it would tell you the answers.Then we would compare the answers.  Well that was are day with kindergarten.

Dr. Seuss Day

On Monday we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday.  Mrs.  MacRae came to read us Happy Birthday to You.   The kids really enjoyed her visit.

Read our Pourquoi Tales

Pourquoi means "Why?" in French.

Pourquoi stories have been around as folktales for many years dating back to the Native Americans. The students wrote their own original Pourquoi tales. Using the app Book Creator, students wrote the tale and then using the app Drawing Pad, students illustrated their tale. As an added challenge students also added sound to their story.

 Each story was written to answer the "why" or "how" questions about animals.

You may download these delightful pourquoi tales to a digital device or open as a pdf.

Option 1: Click on the title, download, and Open either in Book Creator or iBooks on a digital device.

Option 2: Click on PDF and Open as a pdf.  The sound will not work in a pdf format.

Division Story Problems

The students wrote their own division story problems.  Then they solved all the problems.  They had lots of fun writing and solving the problems.

Fun at W.I.N. Time

       Jack and Noah worked on posters about Argentina and Washington, D.C. They printed pictures and wrote about what they were studying. They also added fun facts columns and edited with each other. They got a chance to share them with the class to show off what they learned.
