Australia and Bobsleds

Last week we began our unit study on Australia and focused on the major landforms and places within the continent. We completed our tests on two step division problems and order of operations. On Tuesday of this week, we will have our chapter 10 science test. Our class went to the STEM Lab for a second time kast week to complete a winter olympics activity. They got into groups and built their own bobsleds; They had 2 chances to try and make their bobsled be the fastest. We also completed the first half of our black history month poster. We will complete the second half this week, while learning more about the important people on the poster. 

This week is Read Across America Week so if any of you all would like to come in and read to our class, please email me. We can find a time that works for you!

Happy Friday!

Another week has come and gone in 3rd grade and what a fun week it was!
We had a small class Valentine's Day party along with donuts with dad and muffins with mom. I loved seeing all the sweet parents, grandparents, and loved ones coming to eat with their children.

We finished our unit on Asia and Antarctica this week and we are now moving on to Australia. In math, we have entered into more difficult division. The problems now consist of 2 step problem solving by using different operations. Please be practicing at home!

Our chapel speaker on Thursday was wonderful- He taught us how we always wear our favorite team's colors proudly and that is how we all should wear Jesus. We have been trying to focus on that lesson throughout the week.

Since our school did so well in the canned food drive, we got the reward of wearing jeans and an Ezell Harding t-shirt everyday next week. Remember, there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 19th.
Enjoy your long weekend!

Charlie Brown

What a fun week it has been!

On Wednesday we went to Mt. View Baptist Church to see the play You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. The kids loved the play but the highlight for them was getting to eat lunch with the actors and actresses afterwards. There are pictures from the field trip below.
This week, we wrapped up chapter 9 on Matter and are now moving on to chapter 10. We will also be finishing our unit on the geography of Asia and Antarctica.
Progress reports go out tomorrow so be on the lookout for those!

Also, remember that the cookie dough fundraiser is still going on!!
Just a reminder, donuts with dad is February 15th from 7:00-8:00 am and muffins with mom is the following day, the 16th, from 7:00-8:00. Have a great weekend!

100th day

What an amazing week! 

Our class had an excellent week, but especially because we celebrated the 100th day of school and won class of the week 3 times. For our 100th day of school, we had STEM stations centered around the number 100, we had to stack 100 cups as a class, and we had 100 themed snacks! I will include some pictures below. On Tuesday February 6th, we will be taking our field trip to see You're a Good Man Charlie Brown so each student will need to pack a sack lunch. We will finish up our chapters on matter as well as Asia and Antarctica this week. We will also continue on with chapter 7 in math. It is unbelievable how fast the year is going by. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions.
