Classroom Update: June 4, 2017

Last week was a fun-filled one in third grade! On Thursday, we had a blast with our annual Colonial Day. Third graders enjoyed traveling back in time to the eighteenth century and taking part in colonial-themed activities. Big thanks to all of our volunteers who helped make the day a success!

On Friday, we participated in Katherine Wall Field Day. Students demonstrated courage, teamwork, and cooperation as they completed the day's events.

In reading and social studies, we continue to study the events leading up to the American Revolution. We have been consulting both primary and secondary sources to gather information.

In math, we continue our unit on surveying. This week, students analyzed data sets and defined the meaning of an "outlier."

Last week, we also welcomed a new addition to our classroom--crayfish! We will be studying these animals as part of our science unit on structures of life.
