November Update

Hello Third Grade Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at parent teacher conferences. I am so proud of our 3rd graders and the progress they have already made this year. Our next conference will be in March, but please get in touch with me anytime with questions or concerns. Here are some activities we have been up to. 


Ms. Senecal's class lined up for the Halloween Parade!
We are in the middle of our Project Lead the Way Flight Module. Students have been experimenting with balanced and unbalanced forces, flight simulations, and handheld propellers. 





We also took a fantastic field trip to the Museum of Mountain Flying. It is closed for the season, but I highly recommend a family trip during the summer. 



Communication Arts
In our current unit, we are studying a lot of informational (non-fiction) texts.

~I can identify the informational text features to improve my understanding of a text.
~I can determine the main idea and supporting details.

Math
We are continuing to work on multiplication and division. We are working on building fluency. You can practice at home online (click here), with dice, using playing cards, or with Dollar Store flashcards. Continue to make it fun!

Science

~I can apply a step-by-step design process to solve a problem.
~I can predict the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces.
