Happy Friday!

We had a wonderful week in Third Grade!  Following our short week last week and our field trip to Wolf Den Cave, we are exhausted!

We have started Unit 2 in math and our students are showing their repeated addition and multiplication skills.  Students have also completed their Theme Pages (ask them to show you on Google Classroom) and we are looking forward to closing out our first Language Arts Unit with Figurative Language.  We will be discussing things like imagery, diction, alliteration, personification, which all contribute to author's craft.

Halloween is next week and we are excited!  There will be a costume parade on Friday, October 30th.  The costume parade will begin at 2:45.  Students should bring their costumes in a bag with their name on it that morning.  Costumes will need to be put on over their clothes with masks/make-up left at home.   Prior to the parade we will have a small classroom party since we are not sure how long the parade will last.  All snacks, juice boxes and paper goods donated are greatly appreciated!

Have a happy and safe weekend!

Unit 3 Math Test

Happy Monday families!

We have our Unit 1 post-test coming up this Thursday.  Please look for the unit overview that will be sent home in Homework folders (this is the same one that was sent home in the beginning of the unit).  

Students have been working very hard on two digit addition and subtraction, as well as solving problems that include multiple steps.


One area that continues to be problematic is balancing expressions.  Here are some examples: 

Students also have to word hard to prove their mathematical thinking, as well as to develop an argument.  Here is an example:

Sam says that 6 + 6 =12.  He says that the sums of all doubles facts are even.  Do you agree with Sam?  Why or why not?
