Bake Sale and Puppet-Making

Our bake sale last week was a huge success! We had the line going all the way to the gate of the school. The students not only helped promote the bake sale, they also made their own cookies with Ms. Ali. Thanks to the generous (and delicious) contributions of all our 3rd grade families, the class managed to raise enough money for our Fall field trips. 

In Science, we have been investigating seeds. Last week the students compared seeds from different fruits. Next week we will start observing what happens as seeds germinate.

In Social Studies, the class has continued studying the continents of the world. In particular, we have been looking at the types of animals, land forms, and other features that one might find in some of the continents. The students tested their knowledge in a high-stakes game of Continents Jeopardy!

Another fun project that we have been working on are sock puppets with Ms. Anandi. The class will incorporate the mindfulness concepts that they have been learning about, including focused attention, avoiding distractions, and listening respectfully, into their sock puppet scenes. The class has also been working on writing dialogue for their puppet scenes, and we wrote one together as a class.
