Third Graders are AWESOME!

We have had a great week! The kids had a great time with the map and communities unit. We created 

a 3-D map of Veazie. The children included all their houses and businesses in our town. It was great to see them put together all they learned about maps!

And it begins...

We are working hard and working together!

Keegan, Nick, and Thomas making the legend.

Kris is making the Town Office, Police Station, and Fire Station.

In math this week we used our Student Reference books to look up information about animals. We then took the information and put them into number stories. They loved learning new facts...some were pretty amazing! I think we have some math wizards!

Sarah, Camden, and Kris finding fun facts!

Rachel, Halle, Adam, and Thomas

From Will, in the green, to Duncan waving his hand is as long as a python! We decided we DO NOT want to run into one!

In reading we are learning to respond to questions. We are working on comprehension, inferring, and character traits! I love reading with third graders! It is so fun to hear them laugh or get excited about a fact they learned!
Next week will start Landforms and Rock and Minerals.

Have a nice long weekend!
