Here’s just a peek at some of the goings on with the 3H Crew!

We have been learning about sound in science. Here we are conducting an ear drum experiment. Do you know why the salt is bouncing up and down?

In math we have been learning about the attributes of polygons. We like doing “desk math”.

This week’s pod-casters and their guests are recording the 3H Crew Powerful Podcast #3.

We celebrate kindness by writing kind acts on slips of paper. The “Kindness Chain Caretakers” add these slips to a kindness chain in our room.

During our 3H News Break, our host leads the class in a Power Pix review. The host chooses one word from each Power Pix grid, so the class reviews important math, reading, and writing vocabulary words daily.

Here the class is enjoying hearing the latest podcast. Well done pod-casters!

Do you want to learn about our Cinderella comparison project or the awesome book we read for the Global Read Aloud? If so, please listen to this week’s podcast!

Tune in to this week’s podcast to learn more about International Dot Day and about our trip to the Board of Education meeting

Last Thursday night, the 3H Crew was invited to the Board of Education meeting. Every member of the 3H Crew and their families were able to come to the meeting. Here are some of the 3H Crew waiting for the meeting to begin.

The 3H Crew watched while new board members were being sworn it.

Now the moment we were waiting for…our principal, Mrs. Schultz shared with everyone at the meeting some of the many accomplishments of this 3H Crew. She talked all about the Global Monster Project and how our monster, Bobby Wasabi, got the most votes from the Global Monster participants and was chosen as the top monster. She also shared that our blog won the Edublog award for Best Class Blog. She told the audience that we also participated in the Global Read Aloud, the Hour of Code, and International Dot Day.

The 3H Crew were recognized as Global Amabassadors! Here we are with Mrs. Schultz, our principal; and Dr. Perry, the Superintendent of Schools. The 3H Crew members felt very honored to be recognized by the Board of Education. (if you look closely, you will see that even Bobby Wasabi made it the the board meeting!)

The 3H Powerful Podcasts are back! We hope that you enjoy listening and come back every week to hear the latest installment.

As you might have read, the 3H Crew are growing Lima beans in the classroom. We got to thinking about what some of the differences were between our plants and plants that are grown outside. One thing we don’t have in the classroom are flying insects. It got us talking about the role of bees and pollination. To do this, we made “bee sticks” with expired bees. We examined the bees closely and learned about the role and life span of the worker bees, the drones, and the queen bee. Now, our lima beens are self pollinating plants, but we used the bee sticks to imitate how worker bees travel from flower to flower collecting nectar and distributing pollen. The room was filled with buzzing, check it out!
