@School Year 2012-2013 Welcome to the wikispace for Mrs. Whatley's Third Graders

May 13-17 is Passport Week at Lincoln Elementary. During this week, each classroom transforms into a different country. Decorations are displayed and the students perform presentations about the country they have been studying. This year, my class studied Kenya.
 * ​PASSPORT WEEK 2012-13**

The students learned about the location, weather, cultures, and wildlife in Kenya. They dressed as the Masai people and shared what they have learned through their research. media type="custom" key="23043440"

Some of our essential questions were: Where in the world is Kenya? What is the weather like in Kenya as compared to Lincoln, Alabama? What are some interesting places we could visit in Kenya? What are the Big Five animals of Kenya? What are some of the habits and etiquette associated with Kenyans? Who are the Masai people? How is the Masai lifestyle different from ours? media type="custom" key="23043224" Working on our Passport Decorations media type="custom" key="23043234"

This year, our class global awareness project will be to participate in the Abbas Project. This project is run by Dr. Steve Edwards. Dr. Edwards visited our school in October. He told our principal about Abbas Project, and she told our class about it. We decided to make it our project. You can read more about the Abbas Project and how it began [|HERE.] Ja'Brya and Shariya created a music rap video as part of their Technology Team project about our Abbas Project. The words are original, they choreographed and assigned the parts, videoed, and spliced and editted the film themselves. They are also collecting "quarters, nickels, and dimes" to be able to help the Abbas Project school buy some much needed supplies like spoons, pencils, and more! media type="custom" key="22169596"
