A little big of everything!

Dear Third Graders,

     We have been investigating our weather through using our senses and a variety of weather tools that include weather vanes, anemometers, radar, a Beaufort scale and more! I was impressed at what careful and observant scientists we were collecting data outside! I wonder what the weather has in store for us this week!



   We also worked in buddies to make our writing stronger. This week we will finish publishing our two pieces! 


   On Friday, Mrs. Johnston, Mr. D and members of our PTO did a wonderful job putting on an assembly that honored the many brave men and women who have served our country. We got to sign patriotic songs, share letters written to Veterans, honor special guests, and watch a color guard. 




 
 We ended the week with our Friday Challenge! This week, our groups worked on coding. We had to learn from our "failures" and start seeing them not as mistakes, but stepping stones to reaching our goals.







Bear Hugs,

Halloween Madness

Dear Third Graders,

      We had a blast on Halloween!  I was very impressed with the array Haunted Houses we made. We are getting very good at representing our arrays with the correct multiplication sentence (it helps when we say __ groups of __), number bond, and repeated addition sentence.

Here are a few examples of our great work:


Then came the parade and the party...
