Today we will gather at the whiteboard to review the food chain components and play the Food Chain Game.
At your workstation you will conduct research on the food chain of one of five animals. You will use Enchanted Learning’s website below to gather the information in the Food Chain Research document.
Next week you will take your research and organize it in Kidspiration.
Done early today? Try the following websites:
Cumulus, Stratus, Nimbus, oh my! Grab the digital cameras- we’re heading outside to lie down in the playground field to take pictures of clouds! We’ll write a poem about them and put them in Powerpoint, adding our picture of the clouds as the background. Next, we will create an avatar for our identity on Voicethread using My Avatar Editor. Finally we will create a class Voicethread of our poems.
You will use the activities in the website below to help you better understand reporting and predicting weather. In the first activity, you will use common weather symbols to create a weather map to report the weather. In the next activity, you will use temperature, precipitation, and cloud coverage to predict the weather in various regions.
Today we will explore ways to keep yourself safe on the Internet. Click on the picture below to take you to the iSafe website. Then click on watch video. After viewing the video we will regroup on the rug in front of the whiteboard to discuss what you have just seen.
Grade 3 has been doing a great job learning how to keyboard in the classroom. It’s time for an introduction to the lab.
Today we will assign seats, review the rules of the lab, make sure everyone can log in, and review the dock and the Heights Technology Blog. We will also learn how to create a folder to store all of last year’s documents.
You will spend several weeks learning how to keyboard using the AlphaSmarts in your classroom. Try the websites listed under the Keyboarding page to help practice your keyboarding skills at home.
