We had a busy week in third grade! I think my third graders learned we never plan on a snow day in Maine..haha. They were great sports on Wednesday even though they had to come to school :)
This is our last week of reading with 4th and 5th grade. The kids have all enjoyed the change in groups and have asked to PLEASE do it again. I am sure this will be something we will do again later in the year!
In writing we worked on strong beginnings to our stories. We also did a mini lesson on "pebble words" and "rock words". Third grade is working on using different words to make their stories more colorful and exciting!
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day we watched part of his, "I have a Dream", speech. We also read stories about his life. Third grade then thought about a dream they have for our world. I have to say I was very impressed with how thoughtful they were.
This is our "Dream Big" bulletin board.
Miss Cloutier has been teaching math and is doing an awesome job! She has done some pretty cool and engaging lessons with the kids. They have been learning about area and perimeter. Check out how much fun we are having:
In science we are doing a unit called Inheritance and Variation of Traits. Last week we looked at two flowers and played a game to pick traits from each flower and then design one of our own.
Thank you to all of you for sending in a binder and composition books for your child!
I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!
