Using Wixie's Curriculum Libraries
Metamorphosis
With the changes in the seasons becoming more visible, these students used the Cycle diagram in Wixie to show their understanding of the stages in butterfly metamorphosis.
Spring Haiku
Traditional haiku contain a kigo, or season word, to indicate in which season the Haiku is set. In this project students used Wixie write, illustrate, and publish a haiku with kigo indicating spring.
Cycle Stories
Students can choose a scientific cycle such as pollenation and illustrate it to build and demonstrate their understanding.
Soil Comics
Having students showcase their ideas using comics to make learning relevant and fun! This sample is a student combining knowledge of soil with a story based on Doreen Cronin's Diary of a Worm.
Fraction Stories
Students looked at fractions in spring photos and then created their own spring scene showing fractions.
Nature Mandalas
Students apply radial symmetry and elements of color, shape, and balance to create a spring-themed mandala.

Track Weather
We tracked the weather outside of Houston over spring break from all over the world. We had NYC, Florida, Mexico, Argentina, Germany, Dubai & more! We saw how weather can be different in different areas all at the same time. #thirdgrade #Science @HumbleISD_LLE @HumbleISD 🌤️🌎⛈️ pic.twitter.com/nSgL4fewzD
