Report Cards home

Last week, we had an exciting third grade team time where we released our butterflies and ladybugs. We wrote about what we saw and also started to plant the Summit garden with seeds! 

We also celebrated filling the sunband jar with a recycled instrument parade around Essex Junction. During art with Mrs. Foley, students made instruments out of all recycled materials! This was inspired by our author visit of Ada's Violin. We had a blast! We loved that the ADL drummers joined us for the parade. 

Highlights from Last Week

Some highlights from last week: 

We worked on single digit by double digit multiplication. We have practiced using our base ten pieces to build an array to model the problem. We made posters representing our work. 

During some choice time, a group worked on making the alphabet out of rubber bands on our geoboards. Great teamwork! 

Our sun band jar was full and we celebrated by having Reader's Workshop outside! 

ECHO Field Trip

Enjoy some photos from our field trip to ECHO! We had a blast enjoying the museum and participating in an engineering activity. Thank you to all the family members who joined us! 

Fixed Up Fairy Tales

Please enjoy some photos from our third grade play last week! I will try and post a link to a video later this week! All the third graders should be proud of their work! I know I was a proud teacher last week :) This production of Fixed-Up Fairy Tales was written and produced by third graders. Additionally, all of the scenery and costumes were created by third graders!
