We've been busy learning a lot of new information about our planet, so let's jump right into it! After coming back from winter break students learned about the Earth and it's layers. The following week we talked about weather and climate. Once the class understood the difference between weather and climate we explored the different climate zones on our planet.

Next, we took a look at the water cycle. Students learned about evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection and what happens in each step. We used worksheets, games, and songs to learn about the water cycle, all of which can be found here. At the end of the unit we reviewed with a game that we played in class and that students also had access to from home to continue studying individually.

The new unit is all about animals. So far, we've learned about the vital functions, their characteristics, and how animals are classified. We'll continue to learn more about animals such as the 5 different groups they are split into and students will be able to review animal classification before the exam with a fun game! That's all for now, until next time 😊

October, November, and December with Nancy

Hello and apologies for the very late introduction. My name is Nancy and I am the English Language Assistant (ELA) this school year at CEIP Antonio Rodríguez Almodóvar. I am from California, USA and this is my fifth year working as an ELA.

The first few weeks were spent introducing myself and getting to know how things worked around the school. Once I got the hang of things the first activity we completed in class focused on healthy eating and the food pyramid. As a class we identified different foods into the correct category: fruits, grains, vegetables, proteins, or dairy. Teacher Carmen had previously asked the students to bring in the weekly ads from supermarkets. For this activity, I told the class to find and cut out as many foods as they could find. Then they were each given a plate divided into the 5 categories. Their task was to glue each item in the correct category. The plates turned out great!

The next unit focused on landscapes and the different types such as natural, human-made, inland and coastal. For the first part of this unit we focused on natural and human-made landscapes. I had a lot of fun with this lesson because I had the opportunity to show the class some of the cooler places in the USA. I showed them photos of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Antelope Canyon in Arizona, the Haʻikū Stairs in Hawaii, Bryce Canyon in Utah, and many others! With each place I asked them to identify it as natural or human-made. The following couple of weeks we moved on to inland and coastal landscapes. I enjoyed teaching this unit because it focuses on nature and all the amazing things the world has to offer.

Next on the agenda is winter holidays! I will definitely talk about Christmas and how my family and I celebrate this special holiday, but there are also other holidays the students may not be familiar with. I am looking forward to sharing these new (to them) holidays next week.

Time has flown by and I am enjoying every minute of it. I will try to do a better job with this blog to keep you up to date on everything going on with the 3rd graders and all the material they are learning in their science classes. I hope you all have a great winter break with your loved ones!
