Seasonal Science Bulletin Board

I wanted a bulletin board based on something we've been working on,  and decided on science. We identified all the science we see around us in the fall season. Then, I can just update the board for winter in December. They thought of things like making hot chocolate, leaves in a pile, colder temperatures, etc. Then they had to explain the science behind it. I think it turned out great. I love the window. I used a transparency sheet for the glass!

Pasta Skeletons

This is sonething I've done for all ten years I've taught third grade. I love teaching the skeletal system around Halloween - it just works! It's nice to take a little break from the daily routine to have an artsy moment (although this always reminds me why I hate white glue!). We had a half day this week so it was perfect for doing this project. They turned out cute as always!

Location Circles

In Social Studies, we study a lot about community. We also have map skills and one skill is to give the general and specific location of a place. So, we made circles that showed the different names for where we live (My house, City, County, State, Country, Continent, Planet, and Solar System). We tied in solar system to go with our science! They turned out really cute. Here's a picture of my example, since I sent them home without taking a picture of all the circles.
