Landforms and Islands As Far as the Eye Can See!

Our landforms unit has been an adventure indeed.

According to Dictionary.com, a Landform is:

noun, Geology.

1.a specific geomorphic feature on the surface of the earth, ranging from large-scale features such as plains, plateaus, and mountains to minor features such as hills, valleys, and alluvial fans. 

Depending on your environment, or where you live, you may see different landforms outside your window.

Watch the below Brainpop video for more information about landforms

The class was inspired by the various land and water features they learned about that they created their own....on an island.  (Thank you to Linda Kamp and her wonderful TPT store packet)

Check out the slide show below of students making the islands out of salt and flour dough, painting their landforms, then creating a wondrous world of adventure!

The Year in Review

We have had a lot of adventures this year in third grade.

We have challenged ourselves with math, created various math projects.

We have improved our reading and writing stamina, writing pages and pages.

We made crafts such as these fun candle holders for our Winter project (then we decorated and ate some delicious cookies)

 We also visited the Chumash way of life and made jewelry, listened to stories, played games, and made acorn mush.
