Roman & Greek God & Goddess Sculptures in the S3G
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.

The S3G learn to truly “Pledge” The Pledge of Allegiance
no images were found
The S3G learned what it means how to truly “pledge” of allegiance to the flag charting what each word means and learned how it came to be. We pledged it in class. Try to learn how to sign it at home for fun.
S3G Still Life Paintings
STILL LIFE PAINTINGS
The S3G each chose their own Still Life Image to bring to school of their favorite National/State Park or from their travels. They have immersed themselves into the image and wrote descriptions using metaphors, similes, and used a myriad of adjectives with the help of our mighty writing coaches. Today they have each used their images to sketch and paint their Still Life Paintings. The vibrant mixes and strokes of colors have truly created a beautiful art piece by each brilliant S3G.

5-4-3-2-1 Blast Off! S3G Apollo 11 Expedition
The S3G got in our astronaut gear and embarked on the Apollo 11 Expedition and landed on the moon July 20th, 1969. We experienced the excitement and thrilling adventure of journeying to the moon and landing on the moon with the 1st American astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. Neil uttered these words as he lay his puffy boots on the moon’s powdery surface: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Around the globe, an estimated 530 million people watched on their televisions. From the moon, the Earth looked like the moon with shades of green, blue and white. We watched Neil and Buzz put up the American flag and headed safely home with 7% fuel remaining. We were so lucky to make it back safe and sound—landing on the Pacific Ocean. No big deal. The best part was wearing boots that each cost half a billion dollars! What a day it was.
Back in the S3G Headquarters, we built Apollo 11 Rockets. The S3G Astronauts were relieved to unbuckle their seat belts and get out of the heavy space gear after 109 hours and 19 minutes of space mission time elapsed and get their hands on constructing rockets.
Watch this inspiring video of the 1st Man to land the Moon, 1st were the Americans!
The S3G were intensely focused. Everyone stayed fastened until the captain gave us the clear to unbuckle.
