3rd Grade

May/June:
  • We began exploring Google Sketch Up, a 3D modeling program.  We will use it to further our understanding of solid figures. To view some tutorials on Google Sketch Up, click here.
  • Here are a few tips for making solid figures.  We already know how to make a cube/rectangular prism and a cylinder.
  1. How to draw a sphere
  2. How to draw a cone
  3. How to draw a square pyramid (like a roof) 
  • We typed up narratives from our writer's notebook. 
  • We worked on a project about Michigan symbols by using the following websites:
  1. http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/Michigan/MichiganSymbols.html
  2. http://www.michigan.gov/kids/
  3. http://www.atozkidsstuff.com/mi.html
