During our color unit, we begin by "brainstorming" things of that particular color. We started a few weeks ago with red, and ended the week with black. Take a look at our progress! With a little practice, we got more creative and thorough each day! We enjoyed reading Rosie's Walk about a carefree hen that escaped a fox. We acted out the story with our directional words, then made our own version, "Scottie's Walk." On Brown Day, we had a little fun, observing a "mystery mixture." The students used their scientific skills of observation to try to determine what it was. Our mixture just needed a little milk to determine it was chocolate pudding! In Science, we've been studying components of weather. Here is a look at the tornado in a bottle. We learned a lot about wind and its role in weather. The students were able to name many positive and negative things about the wind. We went outside to try the wind with our pinwheels. Happy Fall! Brown Day wouldn't be complete without reading this imaginative book that appreciates diversity in the colors of our skin. The students created their own self-portraits. Magnificent! Thank you to everyone that donated to our PTO Membership Drive! Third Grade won the honors to duct tape Mrs. Dow and Mrs. Bathe to the wall!
