We ended our Sound Unit by making Recycled Instruments. Each student was taped while he/she presented their instrument to the class. The students also wrote a paragraph about the instrument and took a photo of it using an iPad. The students created a Glog (an interactive poster) incorporating all of the components. Click on the Glogster image below to see all of the Recycled Instrument Glogs. The slideshow gives you a front row seat to the "3H Jam Session." Enjoy!

We have been learning about subjects and predicates lately. I thought it would be interesting to practice formatting skills to show what we have learned. Click on the image below to see how the 3H Crew did!

Are you looking for a new series to read or ways to learn new vocabulary words? If so, please listen to this week's podcast.

This week's podcast highlights two important events: Dr. Martin Luther King Day and the Orchestra Concert.

The podcasts are back! Listen to find out what has been happening with the 3H Crew.

After our "skype dates" with Mrs. Daemmrich's 4th grade class from Elm Grove, WI and Mr. Ferguson's 4th grade class from Franconia, NH, the 3H Crew conducted further research and wrote Community Comparison Essays. Click on the picture below to see both the essays and the posters they created. Thanks again to Mrs. Daemmrich's and Mr. Ferguson's classes for their help with this project!

We now have a 3H Chess Crew! Some of our class members are avid chess players and have formed the 3H Chess Crew. They are now in a match with the Saint Oswald Rooks from Mr. Humble's class in Cambria, UK. The players communicate via email and you can see their game unfold if you follow this link: http://humbleclass.wikispaces.com/Ossie+Rooks

3H Chess Crew



St. Oswald's Rooks

The 3H Crew tried something new this week. To help learn more about different communities, we connected with 2 other classes who participated in the Global Monster Project and skyped! On Monday we skyped with Mr. Ferguson's 4th grade and learned all about a rural community in New Hampshire. Today we skyped with Mrs. Daemmrich's 4th grade class and learned all about a suburb in Wisconsin. The 3H Crew will be using the information to compare these communities to our own community.

This photo slideshow generated with Smilebox

We have a lot to be thankful for. Click on the link below to read the 3H Crew's Thanksgiving poems.

To learn about the community, each one of the 3H Crew became an expert about one of our "community" vocabulary words. They researched the meaning, created a gesture and a vocabulary card to help classmates remember the word, tried to make connections of how the word fit into "community" and then taught the class their special word. After all the words were taught, the 3H Crew worked together to group like words, and ultimately created a huge community graphic organizer(see below). Click on the photo below to see all of the Community Vocabulary cards.

The 3H Crew participated in the Global Monster Project again this year. This year 44 classes from around the world were involved. Each class wrote a description of one monster part. Once everyone sent in their description, each class had to build a monster following the descriptions. This project's objectives were: Collaboration, Interpretation, Problem Solving,
Decision Making, Hands-on Construction, Communication,
Map/Geography Skills, Global Awareness, and Engaging Fun!

We named our monster Sandy Survivor. Click on his picture to see all of the finished monsters in this year's Global Monster Project!

Thanksgiving

Thank you

Yes, I know that we are just about ready to celebrate Thanksgiving here in the USA, but the 3H Crew has some spooky Halloween stories that they wanted to share with you. Click on the image below to read the stories (enter at your own risk!)

The 3H Crew is back to school today after experiencing first hand a little storm called Hurricane Sandy.  We are very lucky that everyone is safe and things are beginning to get back to normal.  Halloween was poseponed in our town and will be celebrated on Friday.  All of the 3H Crew had hurricane stories to tell, so we shared the sights, sounds, and feelings about the storm. Here are pictures of our inspiration charts and some of the great entries the students wrote about their experiences:

Hurricane Sandy Experiences

Sentences that make it come to life:

We have experienced Hurricane Sandy. It is when we get a lot of impact of rain and strong wind. Trees fall down and basements flood.  Electricity goes out.

By Jacob and Owen

During Hurricane Sandy, we were stuck inside.  On the news, we saw the boardwalk at the shore crumble to pieces. We also saw a power line explode. Shayne and Cece saw that Ocean City, NJ was completely covered in water. The storm was 90 miles long.  Then the storm died out and we were safe.

By Shayne and Cece

The main lesson of Hurricane Sandy is be prepared. I saw several trees go down taking the power lines with them.  Soon the wind was blowing, no howling like a wolf in the middle of nowhere. Lights were flickering like a ghost was at the light switch. I was feeling so adventurous I played LIFE.

By Cal

We felt the cold, strong winds from Hurricane Sandy. We heard the exploding transformers. We smelled the smoke from the exploding transformer. We saw trees down in front of houses and in streets. We listened to the news and we saw all the damages that Sandy caused.

By Katie and Marisol

During Hurricane Sandy, I saw a transformer exploding. It looked like lightning blowing up and sounded like machine gun firing.  On the news I saw cars completely submerged in water and I felt empathy for the owners.

By Andy

We saw a tree fall and it sounded like a gun shot. There was devastation because people were losing their houses and bad stuff like that.  In the end, there was power lines down, transformers shattered, houses lost, flooding in thousands of places, people killed and so much more.

By Joseph and Carson

During Hurricane Sandy, we felt scared that the power would go out.  We saw pouring rain and sticks crashing to the ground. Even though we live in the same town, Evan’s power went out, but Wyatt’s did not.

By Evan and Wyatt

During Hurricane Sandy we saw trees waving back and forth, leaves were flying everywhere. Rain was pounding in puddles. The sewer pipe exploded, BOOM and flooded the street.  The tree crashed down and made a dent in the street and also it made a big loud crash.  We were happy, scared, and sad. We were happy because we did not lose power and we could watch tv. We were scared because we heard and saw really strong winds and we thought it might blow a tree down into our house.  We were sad because we could not go outside, and we heard branches cracking and breaking – CRACK!

By Daniel and Colleen

Hurricane Sandy came one dark and stormy night when all of a sudden, trees went crashing down. We felt sad for the people who lived where the tree fell down.

By Auden and Sara

Hurricane Sandy was horrible! In Scott’s neighborhood there were lots of blue flashes of light. Before the light came, there were tons of zapping sounds. It was kind of scary.

By Scott

During Hurricane Sandy, I was up in my playroom when I heard people banging on my door.  My mom, my sister and I opened the door and it was my neighbors. A big oak tree crashed on our fence and our garage.  The bad part was all of the power went out because the telephone pole fell with the tree.  Some of the wires were live.

By Ruby

During Hurricane Sandy I went over to my cousins during the weekend and one night we slept outside.  The rest of the time, we were inside.  We watched the news and saw how Hurricane Sandy was getting worse and worse.

By Billy

Here is a fun way to learn about nouns.

Forty-two teams from around the world are participating. Each team had to pick a landmark and write 9 clues about it.  Each week 3 new clues are sent about the 42 landmarks. Tatem's 5th graders and 3rd graders are working together using their critical thinking skills, map skills, and research skills in order to figure out where in the world the landmarks are. Each week the students are allowed to email one yes or no question in order to help them with their quest to find the landmark.

Our "Tatem Tiger" team is looking forward to seeing the last set of clues next week and is hopeful that they will be able to locate all of the landmarks.  Wish us luck!
