Exam scopes were sent home today for all grade 3 students. We will be reviewing what we have gone over for the past few months starting next week. Parents, please don’t stress over the exams! There will be plenty of time to review, and I am sure your child will do well =) Exams are simply another way to assess what your child has learned over the course of this semester.
Here is a link to the exam scope just in case. Exam Scope
Kids just get cooler and cooler every time they get the chance to create something! I am so impressed with what our students were able to come up with for the science fair! During the last week students have been researching, building models, creating, hypothesizing and making a big fun mess in the process! Here a few pictures from today’s science fair.
Great Job Everyone!
Here are a couple of videos from today’s activities!
Earlier today in Bangkok food began falling from the sky! Hamburgers, pancakes, gumballs! It then began raining cream soda and at one point cheese began falling in large chunks! Good thing our ever ready team of reporters where there to cover the story!
Having just finished the story “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” by Judi Barrett, Grade 3 will be putting on their own news report tomorrow.
Little did we know that food would begin falling from the sky right here in Bangkok! The good thing is that the students began to form their own action plans and news reports to let people know.
For the last two days students have been writing their scripts, preparing their microphones and coragraphing their upcoming stories.
Today was the last day of practice so tomorrow we will be the first to break the “Big Story”! Check back to see the new videos!
Today during Social Studies we discussed some of the consequences we are facing because of the over use of our natural resources. I prepared a slide show to give students an idea of what kind of environmental problems we are now facing.
Students then came up with ideas on how to solve the different issues. Some of the ideas included;
Deforestation
“Recycle the paper, Don’t cut the trees.”
“Don’t use one side of paper”
Air Pollution
“Use bicycles”
“Try to use solar power”
“Don’t smoke”
Excess Garbage
“Reuse, Reduce and Recycle the garbage”
“Send it to space”
Water Pollution
“Don’t throw trash in water”
“Don’t throw dirty water in the water”
These are just a few of the great ideas the kids came up with while working in their groups. It’s important to keep their minds engaged in thinking out their own solution! Be Great Problem Solvers!
Here are a few pictures from today’s class!
We also looked at a couple of Biodegradability Timelines as well. Take a look for yourself.
80% of marine debris is washed, blown or dumped from land. Plastic accounts for more than 50% of all marine debris. Many objects look like food to marine mammals and birds -- this debris can lodge in their stomachs and cause starvation.
Getting children to start thinking globally now can make all the difference!
My Grade 3 kids never cease to amaze me! Last week students were asked to create skits about the environment, people who live there, and the use of natural resources. What they came up with was wonderful, and it truly show how creative and talented they really are! Here are a couple of videos from today’s presentations!
Recently Grade 3 A and B went on an OLET to the Coca Cola factory. OLET stands for an Off-campus Learning Experience Trip. During our learning trip grade 3 was able to ask questions about how the Coca Cola factory was first started, how it operates and most importantly actively engage in their own learning process. Shall I also mention that we were able to drink Coke right from the tap? The whole trip was great fun, and the kids were totally stoked about connecting a bottle of Coke to it’s very beginnings.

In Social Studies we have been talking about human features, physical features and different types of environments. Today we began a new project where the students will be creating “Environment Skits”.
Students were divided into groups 5
Each group has to choose an environment to speak about and come up with a skit showing how people have adapted to live there.
Students must also explain what types of natural resources are found in the environment as well.
Students will also come up with a poster background showing what the environment looks like.
Each participant must have dialogue during the skit and a script must be written and turned in before the performance.
Students are welcome to create props, dress up and follow their own story line as long as there is no violence and it is relevant to what we are studying.
Students are encouraged to work together, find information in their textbooks, notes, internet etc…
Projects will be presented on Thursday (3A) and Friday (3B)
Here are some pictures from today’s class activity.
It was a great day in Language Arts! We played and learned all about simple and compound sentences! During which, we spent time outside, worked cooperatively together, and used our creativity while learning! So much fun! The following video will give you insight into how we are learning in class, as well as giving you the “How To” information.
