We our working hard on our Comprehension Strategies. This week our strategy was Determining Importance as we read. On Friday we had a great time doing some Science experiments!! The students were introduced to the Scientific Method. We did 2 experiments Fuzzy Candy Corn Science & Dissolving Candy Corn. The kids had a great time!!
Then we did a STEM Challenge. The students had 1 cup of candy corn & 100 toothpicks. They had to build a free standing tower & see if theirs was the tallest. They collaborated together & came up with a plan before they started. Then they were given 15 minutes to build their tower. As they started they ALL realized this challenge was harder than they thought. We paused & they collaborated again to see if they could come up with another plan. They were really into this challenge & hated when 15 minutes were up.
At the end of the day we had a little Halloween snack & watched "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Al in all with a fuul moon & Halloween it was another great week in 3rd grade!!
