Ms. Day's Amazing 3rd Graders

Today we learned about the different level of emotions and how to manage them. We learned what square breathing is and practiced it. Then we learned the benefits of meditation and did one for 5 minutes. Here they are mid meditation. Lol

Today we read the book Bonaparte who is a skeleton whose bones keep falling off. He has friends who keep trying to help, but it wasn’t working. Finally a dog came along and was picking up his fallen bones and giving them back to him. Bonaparte kept the dog. We talked about what idioms are and learned what break a leg, a blessing in disguise, and more really meant. We followed up by introducing some angles and then trying to help Bonaparte stay together.

Yesterday for science we used the concept of force to make chain reactions. The kids were really into this! See the comments for videos of them trying them out. (FB won’t let me add them to the post)
