3rd Grade Learns About Newspaper
By Mrs. Hyder & Mrs. Goodrich’s Class

Third grade students from East Elementary had the opportunity to learn about newspapers from Uintah Basin Standard editor, Geoff Liesik. On October 21 Liesik visited 3rd grade classrooms to teach about newspaper reporting. He taught how to interview and ask good questions. He showed his reporter’s tools a reporter notebook, camera, and recorders. He taught how people pay the newspaper to put their advertisement in the paper. This is how the newspaper makes money. Liesik said, “I like the fact that every day is different.” He likes interviewing people and going places to report the news.

On October 28, students went to the Uintah Basin Standard to learn about newspaper printing in the past and present. First students learned how they did it in the old days. It took a whole day to get the letters on the page and print it. It was a slow process. Today, it is faster. Articles are typed on the computer. Computers make the picture small or huge. The size and type of font can easily be changed. After the paper is ready, it goes to the huge printing machine. Students were able to see the big rolls of paper and the presses rolling fast. The paper is printed using magenta, cyan, yellow, and black ink. When it is done printing, the paper goes to Vernal, Jubilee, Stewarts, and other places to be sold. “My favorite part was watching the press go really fast’ said Weston Walker.

Our coal garden changed colors. It is cool. The first time we did it we put cotton, tissue, toothpicks and food coloring and magic sauce and it kept changing colors.

We made a coal garden. We put coal, cotton, tissue paper, magic sauce, food coloring (red, blue, pink, green, and orange). It changed a lot while we ate lunch. The coal garden is fun to look at.
Tabitha

The coal garden has a lot of stuff in the holder. The colors in it are blue, black, green, and really light yellow, pink and white. There is food coloring inside. There are flags inside too. It has coals inside it. It is crowded in the middle. There is cotton and tissue.

We made greenhouses!!!
Blake

I learned that the plants need water and soil. They need air and sometimes they need sunlight and shade.
Aislynn

It is growing so much!
Mainda

My seeds are filthy, but I like my greenhouse. It is cool. My seeds grow 3 inches. I want to grow beets.
Kolby

The greenhouse was cool to watch grow. My own greenhouse had a 3 inch plant. I was amazed to see the ‘no light’ grow! I thought the seeds might just bundle up. It was fun having a greenhouse.
Hadlee

It was fun making greenhouses. It was cool making greenhouses. It was cool looking at them.
Weston W

The greenhouse was kind of cool.
Brock

The greenhouse is growing. The ‘no light’ is growing a lot. The ‘no cotton’ is growing well. The ‘no water’ is not growing at all. I like looking at the greenhouses. They are fun to look at.
Tabitha

It is growing stems and leaves.
Jasmin

I didn’t believe that they would grow, but they did.
Kourtney

This was a project and it was fun. No cotton is living. No water is not living. No light is living. It is cool.
Preston

My personal greenhouse has some pretty long stems. The roots are all messy inside. There are about ten leaves inside it. My greenhouse is growing really well.

Greenhouses

Today I did something in school.
It really was quite cool.
We made a greenhouse full of plants,
Some of the seeds were as small as ants.
Our green house with no light,
Was growing! What a sight.
No cotton was growing too.
It was a sight for me and you,
No water wasn’t very tall.
In fact it wasn’t growing at all.
I also made a greenhouse that grew just fine,
It had air and water and light like sunshine,
I’m glad I made a green house that was cool.
I’m also glad I did it inside of school.

Pumpkin Art

Today we spent part of our morning in art. Mrs. Sampson taught us about organic and geometric lines. We also learned about the patterns we can make with both kinds of lines. We used our new knowledge to draw really cool jack o' lanterns. Mrs. Jenkins, our art mom, was there to help us too.
