The latest from our class Instagram account - learning about elections!

We've been talking a lot about #elxn42 in class over the last couple of weeks, and today we finally had time to run our own mock election, to learn more about the process - lots of fun! via Instagram http://ift.tt/1jUonx8

Writing and sandwiches

Yesterday we started talking about procedural writing - procedural writing is when you tell people how to make or do something that they don't know how to do. We wrote about how to make a peanut butter sandwich, and then today Ms. Fazenda and Mr. Hoeppner made sandwiches with Wowbutter (it's peanut-free, don't worry!) and jam by following the directions that we wrote. When they started making them, the teachers ended up getting mixed up because the instructions weren't specific, and everyone was laughing - here are some examples of how mixed up things got:

Could you eat this sandwich?! (note: the jar is peanut-free Wowbutter)

How about this one?! (note: the jar is peanut-free Wowbutter)

Finally, we got some recipes that weren't mixed up because the instructions were right. After that, Ms. Fazenda and Mr. Hoeppner made Wowbutter sandwiches for everyone in 3A and 3B - here's the proof:

The sandwiches were delicious and we enjoyed them - we had lots of fun! Thanks to Ms. Fazenda and Mr. Hoeppner for the snack! - The students of 3B

The latest from our class Instagram account - Exploring with magnets

We're working with magnets today. We started off by making some predictions of what would be attracted to a magnet, and then testing our predictions. After that, we went for a 'magnet walk' in the school. #ScienceRules via Instagram http://ift.tt/1Luj6qz
