End of September

We have had a great couple of weeks! The students are loving playing math games to learn their multiplication facts. Keep practicing at home so that they are automatic with their facts.

In language arts time, students have been learning a lot about writing and how to use descriptions in their writing. They have also started working on some Grandpals' Day projects. We are nearly done with our science unit on Motion and Design. We will take a break and do some social studies next.

If you haven't followed us on Instagram, you should! I post pictures and videos of the classroom. This week's video includes a short snippet of the students singing their Grandpals' Day song that was rewritten to the tune of "Call Me Maybe". It is absolutely precious!

   Third grade sure is fun! We have all learned a lot this week! In reading, students have worked on making inferences, finishing their All About Me slides projects, and practicing fluency. 

  Students took their first math test on schoology and began learning about the meaning of multiplication! (They were especially excited about this!) 

  In science, they learned about force and carrying a load with their cars. Soon they will be designing their own cars to meet a challenge! 

It's September!
