Happy Vacation!

We had a wonderful week in third grade!

Third graders finished unit 5 in math and had their test on Friday! They have worked very hard on fractions and multiplication facts. Please quiz your kids on their facts every night. They are checked every Friday! After vacation Miss Cloutier and I will do some team teaching in math.  I think it will be fun and very beneficial to our students.

This week in social studies the kids finished researching explorers. We did some information writing in the form of a journal entry. They wrote their letter and then typed their final draft in the computer lab. Miss Cloutier is working on making them look like they are aged...third graders were pretty excited about this and did an awesome job. After vacation they will finish their study on explorers by making a timeline! Our next unit will be a science unit on Social and Group Behaviors.

Our next reading study will be on Folktales and Fables. I am pretty excited to share with the kids what we will be doing! I think they will enjoy this unit!

The highlight of the week was Valentine's Day! We had fun making our boxes with 4th and 5th grade. On Friday we opened our Valentines and enjoyed popcorn and a movie, of our choice, together! We love the community we are building with our kids!

Here are some pictures of our fun:
