The Chat with Mrs. Burns's Third GradeThis week, The Chat welcomed special guest Andrea Ingram, The Davee Vice President of Education and Guest Services at the Museum of Science and Industry to help us discuss, "Can the past help us understand the future?"

Click here to let us know what you think, and suggest guests and topics for upcoming shows! The students are learning the ins and outs of having a weekly production. It is fast-paced and requires a lot of creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. The students learned (kind of the hard way) this week that effort equals success. Experiencing failure is an important part of learning. App DevWe've been working very hard this week on learning to code using Swift Playgrounds. Not only are the kids learning to code, but they are working to ideate a useful product! It is hard and serious work. The team decided that the main goal of our app is to help kids lead a healthier life. The app will focus on nutrition and food, exercise, and mental health/wellness. The team made some decisions about how they want to do this, but we've yet to determine a name or begin the design process. The next few months are critical in our app development process. Writing: connecting ideas and factsOur writers have been practicing implementing different structures, as well as balancing the addition of facts and ideas in their informational writing. We also practiced researching facts using books and reputable websites. Students are also learning to incorporate strategies such as compare/contrast, pros/cons, cause and effect, and more into informational writing. Students are working to elaborate, using graphic features like checklists, definitions, questions, and more to engage the reader. Reader's workshop: |
