The last unit we studied in Science in my 3rd grade classroom this year was weather. Instead of giving them an "exam" I had the students create a poster of everything they learned about weather. They could write all the facts they learned, draw a picture, or both. I was impressed when I went through the posters. So here is a little weather report for ya from a group of 3rd graders:
 |
| Natalie's interpretation of the water cycle. Notice "prsipatasion" is in fact "precipitation" And the lightening bolts means "danger, get in house." |
 |
| this says: "A tsunami sometimes could kill people and some tsunamis could be dangerous." |
 |
| "tornadoes are not so safe that's why you need to prepare for one like if you hear that there's going to be a tornado tomorrow you would have to put boards on the windows." |
 |
| This little guy Daniel is really low in reading and writing but did a great job illustrating his ideas! |
I think they all learned a little something don't you? Guess I'm doing my job right :)
It looks like they retained a lot of information!
