Roman Temples S3G Style

Posted on by

The S3G Architects constructed their Roman Temples today. They were busy following directions then adding their own twist to them. Stars and Halloween were a part of their inspiration. They brought out their stars from their jars and placed them in the temples treating their precious stars as majesty. It was adorable. I turned on some Korean songs to fuse them with diversity. They were humming the words. Very cute. Magic was in the air!

Now the S3G Team is all FIRED UP FOR THE JOG-A-THON TOMORROW!

Go Go Go S3G!

Get ’em pledges!

Get some rest tonight for a fun exciting day tomorrow!

S3G Mission Construction Colosseum

Posted on by

The S3G battled through the Punic Wars and walked through the love story of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. We learned about the Forum of Rome, the temples, aqueducts, and the Colosseum. The chariot races, gladiator battles, and animal fights all sounded exciting. The S3G’s Mission Impossible was to construct the Colosseum. They all did a great job working with different people and devising a plan to make it stand the longest. Some crumbled immediately, but most were captured on photo before. Go S3G!

Roman & Greek God & Goddess Sculptures in the S3G

Posted on by

The S3G has embarked on an extensive-in-depth thematic unit on the Roman Empire. We have started with astronomy-science to learn about the planets which are all linked to the Roman gods. Then journeyed through the space of constellations which are correlated to the Roman mythical creatures & legends. Now we have stepped on Roman soil researching about the gods and goddesses. We are learning sophisticated knowledge that we had to train our mind to wear a professional historical lens to study through the Romans as the Roman are very violent and mighty conquerers who appreciated natural beauty (they like to wear little clothes). The S3Gs have been sculpting away the afternoon listening to Core Knowledge Classical Music. These adorable sculptures are all in display in the S3G museum which you can see through the slideshow. (Wait for it to load fully).

S3G Jigsaw Broadcasting: The Major Rivers of the World

Posted on by

The S3G explored and learned about the Major Rivers of the World and studied the maps of where they are located. Then we split up into groups and did a JIGSAW Broadcasting project where the S3G chose a river, researched more facts, and taught it to each other through posters and broadcasts. Here are a few that were very creative. Enjoy the videos!
