We've reached winter break, and third grade students deserve some rest and relaxation! Thank you ALL for your teamwork in making these weeks of remote learning meaningful. I am astounded by the learning that has taken place, and am grateful for such a wonderful classroom of third graders. In math this week, we continued our work in comparing unit fractions and determining equivalency. Starting our math block with estimation practice has been a big hit with students. This week, one of our favorites was estimating the amount of snowballs in the glass. Can you make an accurate estimate and explain your reasoning? Literacy this week was dedicated to learning about holidays and traditions celebrated around the world. We learned about: Las Posadas, La Befana, Hanukkah, German Christmas, St. Lucia Day, Diwali, Kwanzaa and Chinese New Year. As a class, we realized one commonality amongst all these different traditions: a theme of togetherness!
Wishing you all a wonderful Winter Break! I hope you can take this time to be with family and enjoy quality time together. See you in 2021! Comments are closed.
