To help students use position words to locate an object, they used a privacy divider and cubes. One student built a building with their cubes and then used position words to describe their building. The other student attempted to copy the building using only their partner's directions. Finally, the divider was removed and buildings compared. </p>
<p dir="ltr">On Tuesday, we explored speed and motion. Each group was given a tape measure, a stopwatch, and a wind-up toy. The toys were wound up, let go, and observed. As the toy was moving along, groups measured time and observed its motion ( did it travel in a straight, zig zag path). When the toy stopped, time and distance traveled were recorded. </p>

Our class was honored to be a part of National Geographic's annual BioBlitz.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: magenta;">"A BioBlitz is a 24-hour event in which teams of volunteer scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to find and identify as many species of plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible." - <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers/projects/bioblitz/" target="_blank">National Geographic website</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year's BioBlitz was held at Jean Lafitte National Historical Park. The park had two separate inventories happening. Inventory is the collecting, analyzing, and recording of specimens seen. One on land and one in the swamp. The younger grades conducted inventories on land at specified plots and the older grades conducted their inventories in the swamp from boats.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In preparation for our inventory, we discussed and looked at creatures we might encounter. We also identified creatures and plants to avoid - water moccasins, cotton mouths, wasps, bees, alligators, poison ivy. Then, I modeled for the students how the inventory was to be completed. We would collect specimens by sorting through leaf litter, swooping nets through bushes, trees, and air, and log busting.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a fun, learning experience that they will never forget!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch the video of our day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you live in the San Francisco area, be on the lookout...BioBlitz is coming your way in 2014. Golden Gate National Recreation Area will host next year's event. You can email bioblitz@ngs.org to receive updates and notification when registration is open. I highly recommend this event for your students!</div>

Our local baseball team, the New Orleans Zephyrs, hosted an Anti-Bullying day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Michael Lewis, New Orleans Saints player from 2001 to 2006, spoke to the students about the dangers of bullying and what to do if they are being bullied. He was very interactive with the children and made them feel special. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Here he is pictured with some of our students.</span></div>

Two activities brought the students' understanding of author's purpose to a deeper level.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first activity is an adapted version of a Skittles activity I saw on <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/282671314083708710/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. Ms. Gros had to change it a bit because fun size packs of Skittles are a seasonal item -- who knew???</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, she bought M&Ms and they worked just as well. Each student received a bag and had to write a few sentences to Persuade, Inform, and Entertain. </div>

The next day, student pairs were given a random object (such as a greeting card, toothbrush, stuffed animal, Pez dispenser, tote) and an author's purpose. Using their object, the pairs wrote according to their purpose. When each pair was complete, they read their writing and the class had to determine what their purpose for writing (persuade, inform, entertain) was.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We focused on identifying fractions of a set and of a whole for the first week. One activity was to sort jelly beans according to its color and find the fraction of each color. Once fractions were written, the students created individual and group graphs of their jelly bean colors.</div>

During week 2, we focused on comparing, ordering, and equivalent fractions. I found an amazing <a href="http://www.nsa.gov/academia/_files/collected_learning/elementary/fractions/are_you_my_equal.pdf" target="_blank">resource</a> that includes a 4-day lesson on these skills. </div>

In Reading, we addressed comparing and contrasting. Ms. Gros had each student blindly choose a name of an animal that was written on a piece of paper. Then, they paired up, drew a Venn diagram, and compared and contrasted their chosen animals.<br />

The students are now masters of division! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They can solve division problems by applying one of these strategies: repeated subtraction, drawing an array, or making equal groups. Our last week on division was spent discovering how it relates to multiplication and creating multiplication and division word problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One activity was rolling a die in a die -- it is just that, a die inside another die -- and drawing the number of circles represented by the outside number and drawing stars in each circle represented by the number inside. Then, a multiplication and division sentence was written. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For example, when the dice was rolled a 3 showed on the outside and a 6 showed on the inside. 3 circles were drawn and 6 stars were drawn in each circle. The multiplication sentence, 6x3=18 and 3x6=18, is written along with the related division sentence, 18/6 = 3 and 18/3=6.</div>

As a review before the test, students played spin and divide. Each pair was given a spinner with numbers, a whole sheet with quotients, and assigned a number to divide by (2, 5, 9, or 10). Each partner took a turn spinning to find a number, divided that number by their assigned number, and found the quotient. The quotient was covered with a chip and the first partner to cover 20 squares won.</div>

Our skill for the week was comparing and contrasting. To practice the skill before applying to the book, students compared (similarities) and contrasted (differences) an apple and an orange using a Venn diagram. Then, they again used a Venn diagram to compare and contrast themselves to their partner.</div>

As the end of our first week back from winter break comes to an end, it is time to share what we have been learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started reading a new novel, <u>Ramona Quimby, Age 8.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>

Each day we read a chapter and identified characters and settings. After each chapter, we sequenced events. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To review the three chapters we read, and prepare for the Reading test, the students created a movie highlighting two important events from each chapter. The first two squares were used to illustrate the most important events from chapter 1. The next two squares were used to illustrate the most important events from chapter 2. Finally, the last two squares were used to illustrate the most important events from chapter 3. The sequenced events were then viewed through their cut-out television.</div>

In English, we learned to combine sentences with different predicates using the word "and." First, they were given ample practice taking two sentences with the same subject and a different predicate and combining them. Then, students were given a cut-up sentence and instructed to put the words in order, creating a combined sentence. </div>

In Math, we were introduced to division. Many division strategies were taught: creating equal groups through sharing, repeating subtraction (with and without number lines), and making arrays. To begin the unit, we read <u>The Doorbell Rang.</u></div>

As I read the book, students showed parts of the story using Cookie Crisp cereal. The mother in the story baked 12 cookies for two children. The students divided their 12 "cookies" by 2 and discovered that each child would receive 6 cookies. But, before the children in the story could enjoy their cookies the doorbell rang. Two more friends showed up and now the children had to share their 12 cookies between 4 children. Again, the students divided their 12 "cookies" by 4 and discovered that each child would receive 3 cookies. The doorbell rang again and again in the story and the students continued to divide their "cookies."</div>

<br />
At the beginning of the week, we read <u>The Polar Express</u> and completed sequencing, vocabulary, and graphing activities. To close this unit, we watched the movie while enjoying hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies. After the movie, the students filled in a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the book and movie. A two paragraph composition was written from the Venn diagram.<br />
<br />
The afternoon consisted of holiday centers that the students rotated through while listening to music.<br />
<br />
At this center, the students covered an ice cream cone with green icing, placed sprinkles on it, and put a gumdrop at the top.<br />

Their circuits were then drawn and labeled in notebook.<br />
<br />
Conductors and insulators were explored the following day. We discussed what is a conductor {material that allows electric current to flow} and an insulator {material that does not allow electric current to flow easily}. Using their circuits, they tested various objects to classify them as conductors or insulators.<br />

Our story, <u>Wolf!</u>, is about a wolf that comes across a unique farm. This farm is for educated animals, and when he sees the other animals reading he is inspired. Through hard work and practice, the wolf becomes a good reader. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Two writings were incorporated with this story. First, the students researched wolves using <a href="http://a-z-animals.com/animals/" target="_blank">A-Z Animals</a>. Bubble maps were filled in with wolf facts.</div>

We began by reviewing simple AB patterns {triangle, square, triangle, square}. Then, we dove into more complex patterns like ABB, AAB, and so on. Students also identified the next three patterns in the sequence. To practice the skill, students were given two pictures. I found these great, FREE pictures from Dana at <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FREE-Halloween-Arrays" target="_blank">3rd Grade Gridiron</a>.<br />

I know her original purpose was to create arrays, but I found it fit perfectly with today's lesson. Students colored the pictures, created a pattern of their choice, glued to construction paper, and identified the pattern.</div>

Another pattern we discussed today was patterns when finding the sum of even and odd numbers. First, we reviewed even and odd numbers. Then, students were given two die. I wanted them to discover the sum made when adding even and even numbers, even and odd numbers, and odd and odd numbers. The die were rolled and numbers recorded and identified as even or odd {example: 1 - odd, 4 - even}. Once the numbers were added, the students discovered if the sum was even or odd {example: 1 + 4 = 5; therefore, odd + even = odd}.</div>

They learned that bar graphs require a a title, a scale, and labels. Also, a pictograph requires a title, labels, symbols and a key. Our focus was on parts of a graph and reading graphs.<br />
<br />
One activity was surveying the class to create a class graph about favorite Halloween characters. I didn't take a picture :( I will have an updated post with picture next week.<br />
<br />
Another activity was graphing the number of coins made into a cup. We went outside and stood a certain length away from the cup. Each student threw 16 coins (4 pennies, 4 nickels, 4 dimes, and 4 quarters) trying to make it into the cup. A tally mark was made for each coin made into the cup. After the activity, students returned to the classroom and graphed their results.<br />

First, the students flattened their biscuit. Then, they added butter to one side and dipped the buttered side in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Next, an apple slice was placed in the middle and the biscuit was folded over the apple slice. Finally, the turn-overs were baked for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Time to enjoy! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Upon returning to class, the students wrote about making turn-overs. We outlined our recipe by completing a Flee Map. The recipe was written as a story using the Flee Map. You can read some of their writings at our <a href="http://www.kidblog.org/mrswilson7" target="_blank">class blog</a>. Feel free to leave a comment. Students love reading them!!!</div>
