To celebrate Constitution Day, students will dress up as one of the framers of the Constitution and explain their character’s role in the making of the Constitution. Students should give a small speech acting as their character. Students may bring in poster boards and props to help deliver their information. I will be sending a research form home soon with key information needed. This project will be due Thursday Sept. 17th, 2009 Framers of the Constitution:
George Washington Here are some links that may help: http://bensguide.gpo.gov/3-5/index.html http://www.usconstitution.net/constframe.html http://www.enchantedlearning.com/history/us/documents/constitution/ http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_founding_fathers.html http://www.constitutionfacts.com/index.cfm?section=foundingFathers&page=aboutFathers.cfm

Dear Parents, Third Grade is having a Science Fair! We are excited about this opportunity that your child will have using the scientific method. All students will participate because this will be a project that is graded. These projects will also be judged, so there will be a first, second, and third place ribbon awarded for each class. A grand champion award will be given to one project. We will provide the experiment sheet for this project. If your child has another idea that he/she would rather use, he will need to have that approved by his/her teacher before he begins. The requirements for the grade will also be provided for you, so that each part that’s needed will be explained. Each student will choose their experiment instruction sheets. There will not be any duplicate experiments. This can be a family project, but the student must do the experiment, must create the poster, and must be able to explain the experiment to a judge. The poster board that displays the experiment is due on TBA. The students will present their project to the judges on TBA. They should be able to explain their project, and answer questions about the hypothesis, procedures, conclusion, and what they learned from the experiment. Any materials needed to do the experiment will need to be at school on TBA, too. The project needs to be put on a poster board. It should include: · Title · A question (“How does friction cause a glass to vibrate?”) · a hypothesis (a best guess on the answer to the question) · list of materials used · methods or procedures used (an explanation of how the experiment was conducted) · conclusion ( answers the question and tells whether the hypothesis was correct or incorrect)
Students can write on the poster board, type words and then glue onto the poster board, draw pictures, etc. Be creative! Organization, presentation, and special features (charts, graphs, and pictures) are all part of the requirements for the grade. Thank you for your help in this Science Fair project! Enjoy the experience!

I have received the information about my child’s Science Fair project and understand that it is to be completed by TBA

What's a Poem?Writing poems can be fun when you juggle all the words and the rhythms together to make them exciting. Poems can be out anything and come in many different forms. Here's an explanation of some of my favorite styles of poetry.
A NARRATIVE POEM tells a story. LIMERICKS are usually funny or silly. HAIKU is an old form of poetry from Japan. FREE VERSE is a kind of poetry that has no real rhythm or pattern. CINQUAINS are special poems that have five lines. LYRIC POEMS make you want to sing!
Poem Generators to Get Started
Assignment to students:
Poem Anthology Assignment: Your assignment is to create your own anthology of poetry. You are the editor of this anthology — the person who chooses the poems and puts the book together. The lesson involves looking closely at poems and learning about tools that poets use to help readers see images and to convey ideas in poems. You will also develop research skills and will create additional materials — commentary on poems, a table of contents, bibliography and glossary. All this is part of being a good editor. Your anthology will be illustrated. You may draw, select photos, or use images from greeting cards, calendars, magazines or other sources to decorate your books. Your anthology will be a personal collection that expresses your unique personality and taste. Work and planning can take place evenings and weekends. Remember, this is not a one-night or one-week assignment. It is a process of reading and choosing, of preparing to create a collection that reflects who you are. Have fun with it! Your anthology will include the following pages:
Cover
Dedication
Table of Contents
List the book's chapters
and the poems within them. Include page numbers to tell the Poet Pages Poems written by you:
Finally, include 7
poems you have written. For each poem, you will write 3-5 sentences about
why you chose to write this particular poem to be part of your personal
anthology. Give an example of the type of poetry (limerick, free verse, lyrics,
haiku, ballad, nursery rhyme etc.) Include a picture or illustration, if you can
find one — if not draw one yourself J. Must have @ least one of each: limerick, haiku, acrostic, cinquain, diamante poem and 2 free choices
