3D chips and rewards by Evie and Nicole

3D chips and  rewards!

We can earn chips in our class.The chips are only for  people who listen, follow directions, and work hard in class. We work really hard, and there is a bag on the side of our desk where we put our chips. When the teacher is carrying a bag with chips  in it and puts a chip in your bag, you earn a chip. At the end of the week we count our chips, the teacher collects your chips and you either get a 1 or a 2 or a 3. 3 is the highest level. At the end of the week, the teacher takes all of our chips and on Monday we have a refreshed bag.  It is good to get this awesome stuff!


Rewards for chips!

If you get a certain amount of chips you get a level. If you get a level 3 you can sit at the teachers desk,you can also switch seats with someone,and get a free homework pass. If you get level 2 you can get indoor recess,you can also have lunch in the class. If you have level 1 you can have a rolling chair or you could have computer time. Those are the rewards you can get!

Illinois

We are doing lessons all about Illinois.  We learned about the Illini tribes,  the 3 main regions of Illinois which are Central Plains, Shawnee Hills, and Gulf Costal Plains, and Illinois climate. We also did research on Illinois invasive species and Illinois wildlife. Next week we're going to perform a play written by members of our class about Illinois History.

Traits & technology

In my name is Maria Isabel, the character Maria has a lot of character traits. We all picked one character trait and wrote about it. Mrs.Breaux, our techno teacher taught 3D, our class, to get on Google Drive. We all logged in and started our very first Googledoc.

PJ DAY by Shayna & Yoanna

Our class reached all the stars to the end of the board.So our class voted on a reward. We had a list of choices, and p.j. day won! So we got to have p.j. day and then we got to bring a stuffed animal.It was very fun!!!!!! Here are some kids from our
class and stuffed animals. It was the best day ever at school. Thank you!

Our class name

We made a name for our class. We are called the 3D Learning Community. It stands for 3rd grade Dryden Dolphin Divers. 


We even made a class motto.
 
We even  made a class seal. We learned that Illinois has a state seal.
We even made class symbols. They show how we learn.  I chose a tree as my symbol and said, " I am as strong as a tree and as smart as a cardinal." 
Illinois has state symbols like the cardinal and the violet.
