October 14, 2011, Grandparents/ Grandfriends Day
On Friday, October 14, 2011, UMIS hosted Grandparents and Grandfriends Day. The 3-7 Team was fortunate enough to have about 12 Grandparent/ Grandfriends visit our classroom. The students introduced their grandparents, shared what they love most about them, and the grandparents then shared their artifacts with the 3rd graders. Then the 3rd graders read a story, When I Was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant, and participated in a writing activity with their grandparents sharing memories about When They Were Young in.... (Philadelphia, Wildwood, etc). The grandparents were so kind and generous that they even "adopted" (for about an hour) any student whose grandparents were not able to come. A fun and meaningful time was had by all. Thanks to Kyla, our class photographer.
October 2011 Solar System Research Posters
The 3-7 Team paired up and researched a planet from the Solar System. Mrs. Powidski, our librarian, helped us to develop a research question, "Why can't someone live on __________ planet?" Students then researched the planet's atmosphere, temperature, location, to determine if a person could live on that planet. They also wrote WOW facts about thier planets, and illustrated the poster.
