I apologize for the scramble of photos this week. My computer is acting a little strange, and uploading images is becoming quite a challenge for me.
This week the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) came to our school and posed the question, "How are animals perfectly adapted to their environment?" Through scientific discovery, students investigated various animal parts and made observations that could help answer this question. The following day we had planned to go to VINS, but the weather had a different plan. Our field trip has been rescheduled for Friday, November 8th.
Another highlight of our week came from the design and making of our classroom door. Each student created a door design, which was then voted on by their peers. Students had to write their own proposals and write reasons to support why their door should be chosen. In the end, a combination of the top two door designs was chosen. We have a kindness tree filled with cats! We are now the "kind kittens of third grade".
Reminder for all families: We will be spending all Monday morning in the woods. We have discussed the idea of needing winter gear even though there is no snow on the ground. We encourage our students to bring in winter pants, hats, gloves/mittens and boots for our morning in the woods.
