Third graders have successfully made it through the PARCC exam! They completed the mathematics portion this past Thursday. Like last week, I was so proud to see most students putting in 100% effort and challenging themselves to do their best. With the test behind us, we can get back in the swing of things with our daily schedule.
When we weren’t testing this week, third graders were hard at work completing Unit 6 of Bridges (geometry) and editing their narrative stories. Students also spent some time in the library with Mrs. Sianko learning about fables and writing their own. To round out the week, third graders witnessed a “Science Matters” presentation from Rich Martinez, where students learned more about solids, liquids and gases and how they can be transformed in a variety of experiments. Next week, we will begin our poetry unit of study and type our final drafts of narrative stories. In science, third graders will begin learning more about energy. We will use batteries and mini motors to discover how energy can be converted and used to help us in our everyday lives! Students also begin our 7th unit in Bridges: Extending Multiplication and Fractions. Important Dates/Info:
