The students wrote about things about their times in Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, and now in 3rd grade. This was a short project to start some writing right within the first couple of weeks of school.

The students first were given a list of some Plymouth and Pilgrim landmarks, which then the students had the ability to choose one they would like to research on. Their take was to eventually write a one paragraph that would be put on a postcard that would be use to persuade a person to go and visit the landmark they chosen. They used websites to research and collect information on their landmark. From there, they had to write a one paragraph to a person like a parent to persuafe/convince them to go to the landmark. The final copy was typed on the computer and the printout was passed to a postcard.

The students first were put into small groups. Each group was assigned to a certain topic to research on such as tools about the Wampanoag Native Americans. The students need to work and collaborate while collecting their facts. Each student then had to create an informational Google Slide.. Each small group also needed to work together and collaborate to create a poster that focused on their research findings about the Wampanoags.

The students have been working on a weather unit. Within this unit, the students learned different elements of weather and other components when it comes to weather. The students worked on a multi-tier project to showcase and help students process all the information they learned about weather.

Part 1

The students took what they learned and created a Google Slide to showcase their understandings of the different weather topics.

Part 2:

The students become meteorologist reporters. They had to create a script which they would use to record themselves as a reporter in the field reporting about their weather topic. The students created a Canva video that had intro elements and music with background videos of their weather topic with them spealking using their scripts. The students learned how to download the final video and attach it to their Google Classroom assignment.
