Welcome to Third Grade!

We have successfully completed two days together! I have to tell you that your children are amazing! They have been working very hard to learn our routines and expectations. They have been incredibly respectful.

This morning we had a "person" scavenger hunt. The children walked around the room looking for people that fit a certain description. For example, they were challenged to find someone who ate toast for breakfast this morning. They also tried to find someone who was born in another state. Through this activity they were able to learn that we are very similar in some ways, but very different in others. Ask your child what they learned about a new friend.

Our math activity this morning was lots of fun! We learned that math is actually a science of patterns. The children were able to find patterns in their names when they plotted them on a grid. Some children finished early and were able to predict what pattern their last name might create. Look for their finished products hanging in our classroom on Curriculum Night.
