We had another fabulous week in third grade! This week was our student teacher Ms. Stanizzi's "takeover week," meaning she took on the week's lessons as lead teacher.
We had a fabulous time on our trip to Plimoth Plantation on Monday! Big thanks to our chaperones who accompanied us for the day. At the plantation, students were transported to 17th Century New England. They saw what life would have been like for the Pilgrims and Wampanoag who lived in that time period. Later in the week, students began a research project to learn more about the life of the Wampanoag tribe in the 1600s. Students will be compiling their research to create murals depicting the Wampanoag during the four seasons of the year.
In math, we are continuing to build our understanding of the concept of multiplication. This week, we looked at the multiples of the numbers 2-10. Students identified patterns among these multiples. For example, we observed that all multiples of 2 are even and that all multiples of 10 end in zero.
In English Language Arts, we are publishing a class collection of personal narrative stories. In reading, we began a genre study of realistic fiction. We are reading the book Amber Brown Is Not A Crayon and journaling responses in a readers' response notebook.
This month, the Dallin School is focusing on the social emotional competencies of Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self Control (C.A.R.E.S.). Our class launched a project to help students internalize these competencies. This week, we looked for examples of cooperation around the school.
