Meet the Third Graders 
πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»πŸ”»


Our class is a third-grade class filled with 11 boys and 13 girls. We are 1:1 with Acers, so we love integrating technology. For example, we LOVE watching BrainpopJr videos, educating ourselves with Freckle,  and creating and sharing our learning with Seesaw.






When not at school, the class has a lot of hobbies and interests. Some students like to play games on the computer at home. Many students also paint and make sculptures,  and are creative in art. Collections are also popular especially with football and baseball cards. Reading is also a favorite hobby in our class. Relaxing and swimming in the pool is also fun as California has sunshine all year round.

Sports are a big part of everyone's life. Numerous students play tennis, soccer, football, baseball, basketball, tether ball and handball is a favorite at recess. Being only 20 miles away from the ocean, many students love to surf and swim. Some students also practice gymnastics and ballet. Hockey and boxing are also some student sports that we enjoy.


Food is an important part of life and we have many favorites! Some popular foods at lunch pasta, pizza, salad, dumplings, sushi, grilled cheese, mini tacos, hot dogs, and chicken.
Snacks like sunflower butter and apples are delicious as well as potato chips and even Oreo dip.

For fun, we like to play computer games, play piano, jumping on a trampoline, searching for treasure hunts, board games, roller skating, playing drums. We also love to play with our pets and take them for walks, and baking with our family.

We used Peanuts Characters from online and our Acers to make avatars. An avatar is an image used to represent you online. Notice how we limited our personal information!

Ms. Tulbure's third graders live in the northern hemisphere. North America is our continent. Our nation is the United State of America. However, sometimes our country is abbreviated as the U.S.A. or America. Our country is divided up into fifty states, and we live in one of the fifty states, California. 

California

California is the third largest state after Alaska and Texas. Out of all the 50 states, we have the largest population. There are about 39 million Californians! Our state capital is Sacramento, and our largest urban area is Los Angeles. We live in a suburb of LA. 



Here is the Californian flag. 









What hemisphere and country do you live in?

What questions do you have for us?
We will reply to your comments.

First Day of School 2018!


Welcome Back to the 2018-2019 New School Year!



Today was our first day of school!

We jumped right in and started our adventure! 

In the morning, students and families lined up to meet the teacher and hear a few opening remarks from the principal.

After recess, we lined up and got ready to open up and categorize all the supplies. 
Later, students dove right into reading their 'good fit book' and explored the various seating around the classroom. Look at the quiet and magnificent reading happening!

Global Play Day 2018

Today, our class participated in Global School Play Day




Thank you to the Bedley Brothers and Twitter for introducing me to this project!  The power of a Personal Learning Network (PLN) triumphs again!



I was heavily influence to participate in #GSPD after listening to this eye opening presentation: 


☼     ☼     ☼     ☼     

On Friday, I emailed parents and asked for games to be brought in for our #GSPD event. On Wednesday, we had a few curricular blocks, but we were able to have two solid play sessions.
The sessions were sensational!

☼     ☼     ☼     ☼     



First, we talked about

 sharing and allowing all to play. 


Then, students sorted their games and items into categories

Happy Halloween: Green Screen Fun!

Happy Halloween! :: Green Screen Fun!

 

Today was Halloween and our school held "Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character" Day! It was a fun way to meet some new characters!


In the morning, students took turns taking a photo of their book and then posing like the character. Using our iPads and the Do Ink app we were able to quickly make some outstanding images!


Paid app (I am not being paid to endorse this product.) 



Behold! Meet our favorite book characters!











































In the afternoon, the room moms and volunteers put on a spook-tacular party! 

We had six stations: a Ghoulish Pumpkin Carving (Tangerine decorating) a Ghostly Maze, a Gargantuan Pumpkin Measurement Station, a Frightful Spider Creation Station, a Mysterious 3D building Creation, and a Sweet Donut Bobbing Treat . 
What fun the third graders had!













We ended our fun with a Halloween story


What did you think of our green screen images?

Leave a comment as if you are that character still! Strike up a conversation with a book character! (do not use real names.)

What new book will you be reading?
