March Madness

Dear Third Graders,

      Boy we have been busy this March.  We celebrated one of our friend's birthdays.  He brought in a yummy treat and also sent us home with a goodie bag!



     We also read The Luckiest Leprechaun: A Tail-Wagging Tale of Friendship by Justine Korman. This helped to inspire us to write about "Who is worth more than gold" to us! These came out great and I can't wait for you to take them home.

 

    Mrs. Maciag also taught us about Sugaring. She shared the process she took from tapping trees to boiling the sap into maple syrup.  

     We had a great visit from author Grace Lin. She shared with us the process a book goes through from ideas to what you buy at the store! It was incredible to see how many different people and professions work on helping a book become published. 

  We got a lesson on how to make a dog!

Then we headed back to the classroom and gave it a try.  We did a great job! 

 Bear Hugs,

Crazy hair and OObleck!

Dear Third Graders,

     This week was a blast.  I was very impressed with your crazy hair on Thursday!  Here are some of the styles...

   We have been investigating solids, liquids, and gases during science.  This week, our challenge was to determine if Oobleck was a solid or a liquid! Here are some action shots. To find out more about our investigations and how to make at home, see this great site: Savvy With Science.  As you can see, we are not afraid to get a little messy!

I can't wait to see what next week has in store for us!
