3rd Grade Highlights
We learned about the history of our 3 countries in S. America (Chile, Bolivia & Brazil). Each class studied facts about the country and then the kids made icons to represent the facts. Lastly they had to figure out where to put the fact on the giant timeline. After each class was familiar with their country's history, we presented our timelines to the other 2 classes. This was more teacher lead as far as presenting the information.

3rd Grade Highlights
We studied landforms in social studies and then plotted specific landforms on maps using chocolate chips (mountains), glue gel (rivers and lakes), and other dessert items. Then we learned about specific land forms in S. America using a Smart Board presentation. The kids used a S. American map to show landforms using dessert items. This is called Candyland maps. The idea came from the Essentials, but we extended the lesson by putting a Global Studies twist on it.

3rd Grade Highlights
In April and May, 3rd Grade students worked on their Non-Fiction Books for Writer's Workshop. Each student chose a country in S. America to research. The majority of the research was done online, as well as some reference materials as well. There were several chapters to construct They range from general information such as literacy rate, major exports and population to a school day and places to visit.

3rd Grade
In Science we studied plant and animal life and how it relates to ecosystems. The students studied ecosystems in S. American countries.
We have 2 former S. American friends that we blog with online. They are living in the states (married), but one is originally from S. America. The kids come up with their own questions. It's really interesting to see what they come up with and what our S. America blog friends respond with.
