Third Grade- Gimmel

You should go to Tree Hill if you havn’t had the chance to experience learning about the outdoors. I loved hiking through the woods and even though I am a teacher, I did learn new facts! I did not know the difference between a hawk’s nest and a squirrel’s nest. I did not know that the water in the swamp has ben there since the beginning oof time. What are some facts that you learned about the great outdoors?

Your book report is due May 7th. I expect every student to complete their digital report on their blog. Follow the directions on the library blog.  You must bring in your pulley, lever, screw, wheel and axle, wedge, inclined plane. If you cannot find any of these objects, then please bring in a picture from the web or illustrate one. For homework tonight please go to your blog and write a post about our outside lab experiment. You can title it: Forces and Energy on the Playground  or Outside Lab Experiment or Forces on the Playground. Can you share what you learned today from these experiments? Even if you learned one fact, please share your knowledge. For a fun force and movement activity click on this. If you find another site with force and motion games, please respond to my blog. Can you make a link?

For those students who are ready for their book review, please follow these directions.

Please go to our  fabulous library book review form.  You must fill in all the information for a grade.  This will be shared on the library shelfari account. I am so excited for your book review to be shared with the school.

Dear Pharoah,  Even though I e mailed you to let my people leave Egypt, you were not sympathetic to my reasons. You absolutely disagreed with me, so I must disobey your orders to stay. My mom and dad just told me that we are leaving in 5 minutes, and since it is 3:00 in the morning, I know that you will not recieve this email until the morning. Although my family has lived here for over 100 years, we have been slaves and now it’s time for us to be free. I am not sure where we are going , but I know that Hashem will keep me safe.  Good-bye Pharoah and Egypt. It is time for us to start a new life.

Sincerely, Meriam Rogozinski ( kitchen staff)

Dear Pharoah,                                                                                    March  30,  1400 BCE

My name is Meriam, and I am a Jewish slave who works in the palace.  I  work in the kitchen 15 hours a day preparing your meals. I would like for you to let the Jewish people leave Egypt. I feel that you are very mean to my people. It is not right that we are slaves and work so hard. We want to leave this country  and move to  Israel so we can live free. Would you consider my request and let us leave next week? It will take us at least a week to get our belongings together. Please write me back as soon as possible.

Your Trustworthy Slave,

Meriam Rogozinski
