We have learned a lot since September. Sometimes it's best to hear straight from students what they are learning. What have you learned so far this year in GT?
This year i have learned that wind is the cleanest type of energy! I have learned how to play chess. It is really fun. I have learned how ice melts on aluminum foil. I also have learned that heat melts food. I learned what types of energy is best for. Those are some things I have learned in GT!:)

This is my first paragraph.
We have been learning alot in GT.Most of it is realy fun.So far we have melted ice,played alot of chess,and learn about entergy.I cant wait until our first feld trip.Mrs.Colmbs is super nice and if we make a mistake she will help us fix it.Its fun when we play chess and we capture our oponets peace.It is kind of easy when we write down our moves in chess.Thats what we have learned in GT.

I have learned how to play chess it is kind of confusing but fun!I have learned that wind is the cleanest type of enrgy!I have learned about lots of different types of enrgy!Mrs.combs has showed us and tought us about different websites that are about recycling,enrgy,chess,and the agents of change!Those are some things that i have learned in third grade GT!:)

This year I have learned about energy. I have learned the four types of kinetic energy. Mechanical energy, chemical energy, gravitational energy, and heat energy.
Mechanical energy is energy that is renewable. It can power windmills, fans, and stoplights.
Chemical energy is energy that is non-renewable. Digesting food is an example of chemical energy.
Heat energy is non-renewable energy. It can be used by coal, wood, and gasoline.
Finally there is gravitational energy that is renewable. It can be helped by gravity.

This is what I have learned in GT.I learned about energy.These are three types of energy I have learned solar energy,potental energy,and kinetic energy.I have also learned how to play chess.And I learned how to write in chess languege.I have made some new friends in GT to.I nhave also learned that if you put a thermomter on black paper it will be hotter than white paper.I have learned about the agents of change also.That is what I have learned about in GT.

This is what have learned in G.T.We have learned about chess.And the agents of change.We learned about energy.we learned chess languege.

This year in third grade GT I've learned a lot.We've also done different experiments.You won't belive all the things we do in GT.
So far we've done one exeriment.The one we have done is really fun.We made ice cube melters and then we tested them out .Guess who won the challenge...I DID!
We have learned about energy too. There are two main types of energy that is kinetic and potentiol energy.Humans mainly use kinetic.Some of them are heat,mechanical,gravitational,and chemical energy.
We've also learned how to play chess.Chess is a really fun game.I'll tell you a few tips of the game.You always want t to castle on your fourth move.Heres the way you do it.First you move your pawn to e4.Then you move your bishup to b5.After that you move your night/horse to f3.Last but not least you move your king one space over and your rook over to the kings place.
We've had alot of fun in GT You should thank Mrs.Combs for all her support.THANK YOU for taking time to read this.

In GT I have learned about alot of stuff .Here are some of my favorites.I love chess now!I also like energy such as thermal, and chimical energy.But my favorites is the ice cube melter when we make a place to put it and then we go outside and seee who's melts the fastest.This is what I learened in GT.

In GT we have learned about different types of energy such as Thermal energy.We have done lots of experiments to,such as seeing who's icecube melter would melt there ice first.On Friday, we get to play chess and write the notation of our moves that we make.

This year I have learned about chess alot and that's a good thing.
I have learned about agents of change.I have also learned about energy like solar and heat.I also learned about how to use heat to reflect off of card board and aluminum foil. I have also learned potential and kinetic! That is all I have to say about GT!

I have learned about lots of different types of energy.We have learned about chemical energy,heat energy,mechanical,and even gravitational energy! Thank you for teaching me how to play chess too,since you've been teaching us chess I've been really interested in that subject!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH Mrs.Combs!!!

I learned a lot in Gt. We have also learned about energy.Some types of enegry are called chemical, pontital, heat, and gravitational.I have learned how to play chess.So that is what I learned in Gt.

In G.T. this year I've learned,stuff in chess,like were the peices go.We also learned all the diffierent kinds of energy,Geothermal,Wind,Renewable,Nonrenewable,Petencal,kinetic,Chemical and more.One time we also did an activady where we all got sticky notes and wrote down how to ether be respectful or prepared,or you could say ways to do your best and follow directions.Those are some things that I did in G.T. this year so far.

This year I have learned a lot about energy and also for teaching how to play chess.I love GT. I woulden't have knowen about energy without you! I woulden't have learned about energy if I wasen't in GT.

In G.T or Gifted and Talented we learned about different energies for example Biomass witch is a type of renewable energy. Another type of energy we learned about was Geothermal we found out that geo meant earth and thermos meant heat an we found out it was a renewable energy. An we learned about Solar energy witch is the suns energy. Then we learned about Potential energy witch does not move it is still as can be. The we learned about Kinetic energy witch is moving energy like heat energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, and gravitational energy. An on Fun Fridays we learned how to play chess and chess language like the names when you write out the moves the white or black made . So the next Fun Friday everyone could pick up were the left of.

What did you learn?I learned about energy. Kinetic,potentiol, chemical,and mechanica energyl. We learned about chess.How the pices move.The namesof the pices.we learned how to castle.that is what i learned about GT.

In GT this year I learned so many cool things about energy . I think it's awesome to learn so much about energy .Learning is so cool I know so many types of energy like Biomass ,wind turbines ,geothermal ,solar energy ,renewable energy and I'm about to learn more! I also know energy like kinetic ,potential ,heat ,mechanical ,chemical ,and gravitational energy . I am so glad to be in G.T.
thank you!

We have mostly been learning about energy but we have also learned about different things,too.The energyes are heat energy,mechanical energy,chemical energy,gravitational energy,potential energy,kinetic energy,solor energy,biomass energy,geothermal energy,and wind energy.We have also been learning about chess.Our G.T. teacher which is Mrs.Combs has also given us a website called www.chesskids.com. In chess the pieces are R,N,B,Q,and K and in chess language .The white always go's first.The R is at the corner and go's up,down or sideways.The N is besides the R and always moves in a shape like a L.The B is besides the N and always moves in a diagnal way.

I've learned about rewnewable and non-rewnewable energy.We also learned about kinetic and potantiol energy.Kinetic energy is heat,mechanical,chemical,and gravitational energy.We played chess so I learnd how.Another thing I learned was about biomass,geothermal,solar,and wind those are rewnewable energy.Some more things we wrote about typs of energy.I learned about surface,touch,and temperture.There is chess language.There is K,Q,N,B,and R.

We learned about the types of energy, Biomass, mechanical, wind, potential, kinetic, geothermal, solar, renewable, nonrenewable, plant, gravitational, and chemical energy. I like learning about energy! We also made ice-cube melters. We used aluminum foil, scissors, and cardboard. I love GT!!!

We learned about renewable energy like biomass,solar energy,wind energy,and geothermal. We also lerned about chess.We also lerned about how solar ovens work. We did an experiment on who could build the best ice cube melter. I'm so glad to be in GT! Thank you!
