Week 23

VACATION!! Yay :) I’m not sure about your kiddos, but my own children are welcoming this break! I feel like it's coming at just the perfect time!

This week was quite a busy, FUN one for sure. 100th day of school, Valentine’s Day, Winter Carnival and a snow day thrown into the middle of the week made for jumbled week in third grade!

Thank you to everyone who helped and was able to attend our Sweetheart Breakfast on Thursday morning! It was a great time together!

In writing we have been plugging away at our informational writing pieces and we are getting closer and closer to publishing them!

In math we have been working on finding patterns/rules with numbers. We’ve been working on the distributive property of multiplication still and then also 2-step word problems. We are very excited to be starting fractions after vacation!

There will be NO SPELLING WORDS given until after vacation.

We hope that you and your families have a fabulous February break.

Week 21

Due to some frigid temps, we have unfortunately had to spend a couple days inside this week. We are looking forward to getting back outside next week!
Third graders are working hard in here! In math this week we did a lot of work with the distributive property of multiplication. They are also working on 2 step word problems.
In writing, we continue our work with nonfiction writing. We’ve been organizing our chapters and starting to write. Next week we get to research a little to find some real facts to add into what we think we know on our topic.
We spent some time this week focusing on proper use of commas. We focused mainly on addresses and where to put commas when we have dialogue in writing.
Social Studies and Science unfortunately fell on Wednesday so we will have to wait until next Wednesday to catch up there!
Thank you to those who are coming and have signed up for the Sweetheart Breakfast on Valentine’s Day. We’re looking forward to spending the morning together!
We are in need of wipes and tissues in third grade. If you happen to be at the store and could snag some, that would be fantastic!

Week 22

This week in third grade, Miss Pouliot got to experience teaching all by herself for the week. She did a fantastic job!


In reading, third graders started learning about comparing key details of two different nonfiction texts. We used Venn Diagrams to find similarities and differences in these readings. We did one reading on Harriet Tubman and another on hurricanes. Third graders did a fantastic job with this this week!


In  math we have finished up our work with the Distributive Property of multiplication and are moving on to two step word problems. Great job everyone!


This week in science, third graders learned about heredity, variation and selection. The Mystery Science question this week was can selection happen without people? Ask your students about the brown and green anoles!


In Social Studies this week we traveled to two new states! Miss Pouliot took us to Kentucky and Tennessee.


NEXT WEEK…..

  • Tuesday is the 100th day! You don’t need to do anything special, but we will be having some fun that day!
  • Thursday is our Grade 3 Sweetheart Breakfast! Can’t wait to see you there!
