On Friday, April 5th the third graders at Lockhart got to visit every continent in the world! How is that possible? Well, thanks to our PTA for providing our third graders with this amazing opportunity. The students were able to see all the continents on the Earth Balloon, which is a huge blow-up model of the Earth. The Earth Balloon was set up in our GP room, and the Earth almost reached the ceiling! The students were able to look at all the continents on the Earth Balloon, while the instructor, Mary, told the students amazing facts about all the continents and animals that live there. She also showed the students pictures from her travels to various continents around the world. The 3rd graders were then able to go inside the Earth Balloon. Once inside the students viewed the continents from inside the balloon, while their teachers were able to ask questions about the continents.
This is a wonderful hands-on experience where the children get to see all the continents on a huge scale! Thank you to our PTA for this great third grade assembly.
