Announcements
I hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break!
Third grade will be MAP testing April 16-19. Please avoid any appointments or vacations during this time. We will test in the morning times. More information will be coming soon!
We had a relaxing camping day filled with reading by flashlight, watching a movie, and smore's treats!
In the Classroom
We finished our Benchmark unit this week by looking for the central message in a narrative story as well as a poem.
Students finished their opinion piece this week. They were asked to read two stories about the same character, choose a trait to describe him, and support their answers using evidence from the texts.
We finished our Fraction unit this week with a test. After Spring Break, we will get back to multiplication and division. Please continue to practice multiplication facts with 3rd graders to help improve their fact fluency.
We finished our Weather and Climate unit this week. Mrs. Hanson came in each day to do a Lego Engineer project with us. Students learned about where and when in Missouri we have to worry about flooding. Then students used Lego kits to design and code a working floodgate! Here is a video of a working floodgate as well as pictures from our week with Mrs. Hanson.
We also had a special guest visitor on Friday morning! We were able to meet and learn from Beth Finnelo who is the morning meteorologist on KOMU.
