3 Is The Magic Number

Impossible 2 Possible

2011-12-12T13:53:00.000-08:00

The Impossible Was Possible
Learning about India in Grade 3 is awesome!Over the past 10 days (Nov. 27- Dec 6th) we have followed 4 runners that have run 270 km around the Thar Desert. We were very lucky to get the chance to video chat with Jessica, Patrick, Emma and Hashveer when they were in India. They are a part of the Impossible 2 Possible team that were teaching us about the animals, (yuck snakes) food, environment and hospitals in India. Emma is going to try to bring us some sand from the Thar Desert.
They all taught us that if we believe in ourselves and persevere anything can be possible.

Forestburg Grade 3 Skypes with Arambol India

2011-03-22T15:40:00.000-07:00

On March 17th our Grade 3 class experienced the world of Skype with Leslie Lindballe and 3 children that live in Arambol, Goa, India. It was 9:00 a.m. here and 9:30 p.m. there. It was amazing! One thing that we found surprising was that cows are Gods. They also said that +27 C felt cold to them.
We asked them about their food, clothes and what their house was like. They asked us, if snow hurts when it hits us? We hope to Skype with Leslie again when she is in Mumbai.

Making Comments

2011-02-12T19:56:00.000-08:00
Look at this!
A Grade 3 class in Jacksonville has made a video about making comments on their blogs.

They brainstormed what they already knew about commenting on blogs. What does quality even mean? What would a “quality comment” on the third grade classroom blog mean and look like? Collaboratively the class came up with the following commenting guidelines.

Next Two Races Were Great!

2009-10-15T23:59:00.000-07:00
I was really happy with my next two races. I entered a time of 126.05 for my long free and raced 126.85. I was really happy with this because it is a 50m pool! My afternoon breast stroke race I entered a 52.81 and raced 51.29.Our family had a picture taken today with a koala bear. Flat Stanely had his picture taken at the Olympic pool and the running track at Olympic Park today. I hope classes are going well. Tomorrow we are going to the Blue Mountains and we will be in caves like the ones you are reading about.
Have a great day,
