Learning Design
3rd Grade PBL Feature
Driving Question: How can we as third graders research, plan and present a field trip so that the PTO will sponsor our field trip?
This October the third graders participated in a PBL where they were asked to plan their fall field trip. They researched a place to visit based on our learning standards and TEKS. They were responsible for staying within a budget, planning out a schedule of the day’s events and creating a presentation that would persuade PTO to fund the field trip.
The PBL was facilitated in a cross curricular manner, with each component being worked on in a different area of study. The learners presented to their homeroom classes and voted to decide on one group that would represent them in front of the panel of judges. The judges chose a winner to present at the October PTO meeting.
The PTO graciously sponsored our field trip to the Perot Museum! Take a look at the video to see what a great experience we had!
Kidz Bop!
- Thursday - Ally needs the grade level banners.
- The Office will begin calling down grade levels (starting w/ 5th) immediately following E-Time. 2nd-5th will sit in the bleachers and K-1 in front. This is a change so that the kids can see the performers.
- The performance will begin @ 9:15 (3 songs, followed by the Q&A).
- Please have the kids participating in the Q&A seated so they can easily get up for their question.
- Performance ends - 10:00
A BIG thank you goes to everyone who helped set this up, especially Ally for all her work behind the scenes!
