Weeks 2 & 3

The first 2 weeks of school flew by. A lot of time was spent learning new routines and what happens each day at school. The third graders learned about communities and are busy at home taking pictures of their community. They also learned about microscopes and are beginning to learn about cells - membranes, cytoplasm, and nucleus are terms that were defined and labelled. Everyone is getting so smart!!

In math the 3rd graders are learning about place value. They are also practicing their basic addition facts to improve speed and accuracy as they move into higher level math!

In English, nouns - proper and common are being used and found! The class is beginning to become more and more independent in literacy as the Daily 5 literacy program is beginning in the ILS 3rd grade!

So much more happens each day in 3rd grade! PE, library, Spanish, Art, Spelling, Handwriting, Music are all a part of each week. Everyone should be tired when they get home from school!! Lots of learning and growing!
