This week in math we played games with cards and practiced multiplication.
In reading, we have groups that are reading Clementine, Stink Solar System Superhero, and Roxie and the Hooligans.
We are writing true stories about ourselves.
In Science, we are learning about magnets. We tried to find things in our classroom that they would stick to.
In Social Studies, we read a legend about Mt. Katahdin and the Atlantic Ocean.

We also had some special visitors. Rangers came in and their names were Ranger Cynthia and Ranger Hannah. They gave us skits to perform about the jobs they have in the park. They also gave us books with activities.
*Third graders will become Jr. Rangers on Friday, October 16*

We are looking forward to getting our iPads. We will be using them on Monday. Yay, it's awesome!

We have had a busy first few weeks of school and everyone is settling in nicely. This year third graders will be writing updates for our classroom blog. Each week a new group of students (and some guidance from Mrs. Tripp) will have the opportunity to brainstorm and write an update about the week. We would all love to read your comments back!

  Students worked together to solve a math word 

   problem. Then they created posters to show their 

thinking.

Table groups had to work together to come up

with a group name. Shown above is group

"Wubble Bubble." 

Stay tuned for our next post created by third graders!!

DON'T FORGET!!

Welcome to 3rd Grade! I hope you are as excited about the upcoming year as I am. Here is some helpful information for the beginning of school.

We will be having a snack every morning, so please be sure to bring a healthy snack each day. If you are planning to have hot lunch, please bring lunch and milk money on the first day of each week in an envelope with your name, my name, and the amount of money written on the front. The cost for hot lunch this year is $2.60.

Please send a schedule with your child so that I can make sure your child goes where he/she needs to after school. If the schedule changes, it is important that you let me know either by note or email before 1:00.

Here is a list of supplies that you will need for third grade:

-pencils and erasers

-glue sticks 

-colored pencils or crayons

-a small supply box to keep in your desk

-1 deck of inexpensive playing cards

-1 dry erase marker

-an old sock or white board eraser

-a plastic bag with your name containing: 

     6 quarters, 10 dimes, 10 nickels, and 10 pennies

-It would also be very helpful if you would periodically donate a box of tissues as noses never stop running and we go through a lot!

I hope you enjoy the remaining days of summer vacation. I’m looking forward to having a great school year with you. See you soon! 

Mrs. Tripp
