The First Day Of School.
The first day of school we learned about the ipads. We have 27 ipads in the class room. Thay have about 50 apps. All of them are learning apps. We have our smart stack of books. A smart stack is where we have easy,meadom, and hard. We started to work on our ipads. We started to find out how to use them. They are a big responsibility. We where exited when our ipads came YAY!!!! When our friend came it was exithing one was our friend best friend. it was a awesome day for the first day! -
Soft Start
I like soft start because if I'm in a bad mood it will calm me down. Also, I can have some fun before getting to work right away. We use Schoology to get us started. It tells us what to do. During soft start we take our planners out. Our parent had to sign it for the teacher to sign. On Fridays we get our Friday Folders. On Monday during soft start we turn them in. Soft start is soothing because the teacher will play music.

Our Class
Since the beginning of the year Mrs. Duray does this thing where it's like we are a TEAM. If we treat each other badly then we get a 5 minute penalty. We do this because lots of people in the class like football. In the beginning of the year we had 24 students. Then we got Trinity and Makayla. We needed to treat eachother as a team then. A little later Nicholas moved back to Texas and Eli moved and then came back. By the end of the year we had 26 students. by Maggie -

Could you imagine a 3rd grader that loves rocks and geology so much that they have a tackle box full of rocks? Thats me! We loved to study geology for many reasons. First we studied erosion.

Spelling City
Spelling City is an app that we use to help us as spellers. We have to login on our iPads first. There are 8 activities. The first one you have to do is the pre-test. The audio will say the word and sentence. When you finish you show the results to the teacher. When you show the teacher your results she will give you a list and then you have to cut and sort it. After that you have to do the next activity. The last thing you have to is do the final test then you show the teacher. -
TFK
Every Friday we get a TFK. It is a non-fiction newspaper. It tells us facts about the current news. It is called a TFK but it means Time for Kids. We put them in a red folder. The pic-collage has notes about something in the TFK. We take a picture of some things in the TFK and then write about it. We are creative when we make it. TFK is a great thing for third graders. by Justin -

SCHOOLEGY
How do you comuinacate? How you comuinacate is by going to discripshion and write about some thing. Schoolegy is very fun you learn a lot from it. I think other schools should use it. it is a very good you sores. How you use it is by typing in your school when you find it you click on it. then when you get there put in your number for yourself then it will take you some where then slide from the left to the right. you will see coures then you click on it and your teacher can make a folder in it.
