The third graders have been hard at work on our informational writing.  We all chose a topic that we knew a lot about.  Then we learned all the different structures that nonfiction writers use and we tried them out in our own writing.  Then we revised and edited until we finally had our own informational books.  At our publishing party we did an informational gallery walk so we could learn about one another’s topics.  We split ourselves in half and traveled around the room learning information from one another’s books.  We left behind some fun facts we learned before we moved onto the next author.

Our third graders visited The New York Botanical Garden to learn all about seeds.  We studied various seeds and learned the different ways that seeds spread and grow.  We took a nature walk through the garden looking for different plants and seeds.  Finally, we potted our own plants to take home!
