Open House 2016!

This year, has been a year where I learned numerous things I would have never learned without being with Mrs. Yollis. Our class was so proud of all of our achievements this year that we decided we would put all put all our wonderful projects up. We had done so many that our class was full!

We were afraid that at Open House, students would forget to show parents everything we have done, so we made a list including all our creative projects. 

I loved all the projects we did this year, however I especially liked our Biographical dioramas and  our turkey characters. 

During Open House,  my favorite stations were the Ivan Station where you compared your arm span to a Gorilla's and the Green Screen Booth where you took a picture with your family and you picked your favorite project and then it made it seem as if my family were in that project.

We had numerous stations including, the Ivan station, Our Gorilla Reports, Badger Claws Journals, Origami Stars, Green Screen Booth, I Would Love To Be a... Poetry, Animal Masc,  Polygon People,  Charlotte's Web Collaborative Slideshow, Paper Portfolios, Digital Portfolios, Absurd Alliteration,  Vowel Consonant Fractions, and finally Symmetry.

Our Origami Stars was a project organized by Karissa and Abby's moms. It took a while to do it and sometimes we messed up, but that's o.k, we tried again and at the end they look magnificent!

I would love to Be A... Poetry was a poetry lesson taught by Mrs. Werve (Lily). You imagined what animal you would want to be, then you wrote a poem about why you would like to be that animal. I chose to be a Grizzly Bear.

    

Our Animal Masc  we made with our journeys buddies. Each pair of buddies was assigned a letter, then you and your buddy chose what animal you liked the best that would start with that letter. For Instance, my buddy and I were assigned the letter M. We hesitated between mouse and monkey but we finally decided monkey. After that, the big buddy chose a fact about that animal and the journeys buddies sounded out M. Lastly, Mrs. Yollis filmed it and we made it into a movie! We were showing the movie with the projector during Open House.

New Digital Portfolios

We have done so many incredible project this year that our class decided we had to make digital portfolios in order to keep track of all the projects we have done this year!

In this e-portfolio, we post things like our Charlotte's Web collaborative slideshow. Not only do we insert the slideshow but we even add a reflection. A reflection is  an idea about something, especially one that is written down or expressed.

In this case, we used a reflection to help readers understand more about it, and to even help us remember these fabulous projects when we look back at it when we are older.

A digital portfolio is also made if you have no more space in your  binder, you put it in a e-portfolio ;)

   Have you ever created a digital portfolio?
 What kinds of things did you post on there?
Would you wish to have one?
Do you prefer to put it in a binder?

Jumping into the water!

For Mother's Day, my family went to go on a hiking trail. When you reached the end of the trail, there was a big lake. It was super hot, so we decided we could go jump into the water from high rocks!

The rocks were so high that when I got there,  I didn't want to jump anymore! I learned that the more you hesitated, the more you would become scared, so I jumped right into it without hesitating.

Charlotte's Web in French!

         Last month, our class read a fabulous book titled Charlotte's Web. It is a fantasy story about a spider named Charlotte and a cute pig named Wilbur.

Charlotte's Web is a classic book for 3rd graders to read and it is very humerus so 3rd graders love it
         


Last week, my mom revealed that when she was in third grade, in France, she read the exact same book just in french!

I thought that was very funny, so I asked her if she could lend the book to me so that I could share it with the class. Unfortunately,  she told me that her book was at her mom/my grandma's house. Luckily last Wednesday we went to France I actually went too my grandma's house and to my delight, my cousin Felicie was there and my grandma had given it to her. Because Felicie is so nice and likes to make people happy,  she gave it  to me!

                                                Have you ever read Charlotte's Web?
