The Three Branches of Government

Posted by efierst | Posted in Third Grade | Posted on March 29, 2019

The Legislative branch makes the laws. It is made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives. They declare war whenever we go to war.There are 435 representatives and 100 senators.535 in Congress all together.

The Executive branch signs bills into laws. There are 15 departments that advise the Presidentcalled the cabinet.The Vice President is the head of the Senate. The president is the head of the Executive branch.

The Judicial branch interprets the laws.There are 9 Supreme Court justices. They serve for their entire life or until they resign. The president nominates them and then the Senate confirms them.

You have to be 18 to vote, have to pay taxes and have to serve to jury. There are checks and balances which means that no branch is more powerful than the other.

On Thursday we had our performance and I was nervous! I wasn’t sure I wanted todo the play but then I took a couple deep breaths and walked on stage. My favorite song was The Optometrist because that was when we went on stage and played the instruments that we wanted to play. I played the temple blocks and I really enjoyed them. I like them because they sounded good. I felt good after because I think I did well.

The first thing that I’m going to tell you about is recess. You get 2 30 minute recesses because I believe that kids should have an hour to play around. They can choose if they want to go outside for recess or stay inside. They can play sports on the big field where the players play soccer and they can play all different kinds of sports. For homework they tell you to run around. They also tell you to get Beyblades   and play with them. The thing they tell you the most is watch lots of TV. Next, for lunch you get free pizza and a free desert of your choice. For reading you have to read The Magic Treehouse,Warriors, or Harry Potter. You have to read for 30 minutes.

During winter break I will go to the NIT’s. After that I will go to Whitetail and ski for a day. Third, my dad will pick us up from Whitetail and drive us to the capital, DC. I will drive with Mommy tomorrow morning to the NIT’s and then my mom will take us to Whitetail, then Abba will take us to the Capitol for a tour. At the NIT’s I will watch Aviva’s games. Then we will go skiing at Whitetail. Then we tour the Capitol with Abba. My favorite so far is skiing because when I went to another ski place I loved it.

Mount Vernon

Posted by efierst | Posted in Portfolio, Third Grade | Posted on February 15, 2019

We went on a field trip to Mount Vernon. We had a tour of the outside, house, and his tomb. First, we toured the outside and we saw where the farm animals were. They had two stalls and they actually had sheep. The sheep were grazing in their little pen.They had the smokehouse where they smoked the meat. The way that they smoked it was they set a fire and when the smoke came up it smoked the meat.There was a river and it was the Potomac River. They got supplies from boats like food, water, and weapons. In the house they had the key that Lafayette gave George to symbol freedom from the British. Since with keys you can get in and out if you want freedom you can get out of being a subject. They had the kitchen and it was outside because they didn’t want the house to burn (the house was made of wood). The farm was big and they used to have farm animals like horses, cows, and pigs.We did the tomb and I said the special prayer for the ceremony. My favorite part was when I did the prayer because I loved when my heart jumped because I felt so good. Our field trip was awesome!

R: I chose this blog because I had loved the Mount Vernon field trip. I loved learning about George Washington and his family and I learned that his teeth were made of ivory.

Ancient Rome Day

Posted by efierst | Posted in Third Grade | Posted on February 1, 2019

Last week was ancient Rome day. First , we went on a tour of the Colosseum. The Colosseum is where they had all sorts of gladiator fights. After that we went back to are room to do the tortoise formation. The tortoise formation is a formation that looks like a tortoise. You move forward slowly and crouch low. We wore a toga and leaned on our left side while eating bread, grapes, and figs. My favorite thing was the tortoise formation because I was in the front of it! Ancient Rome day was  the best day ever!
