Week 14

Well, last week got cut short due to our remote Friday.
Thank you to the kids and families that still showed up all day and did their work, it's the expectation. Ms. Edna and I love seeing your faces!


Last week we finished our unit of study on Vermont. We watched a video of the book, "The Two Brothers" by William Jaspersohn, which told a tale of German immigrants moving to the USA in the 1930's. We talked about and completed a worksheet about how Vermont has changed over the course of history and how it has stayed the same. Here are some pictures of the Vermont display that Ms. Edna made using our students and Mrs. Germain's students (the other hybrid third graders ) work. She also found artifacts and books about Vermont to include. It's truly a cool showcase of what we've been studying. Thank you Ms. Edna!

All is going well in THIRD Grade! So far we are just continuing to get to know each other, as well as the rules and routines of the classroom. We are doing everything we can to be safe with one another, respectful of people's feelings and responsible for ourselves. One good thing to come out of all these changes is the small amount of students we have, and our new awareness of getting outside. Here are some of the activities that we did this week! We learned about the power of YET! You can become better at things, smarter, stronger, if you don't give up and say things to yourself like "I can't do this, YET!", "I will KEEP TRYING!", "I CAN DO THIS!". Students wrote about things they couldn't do yet, but would like to keep working at. We did an outdoor scavenger hunt to find things in nature and work as a team! We played a "get to know you" game by asking our partner questions like, "If you were stranded on a desert island, wha

 Happy November! I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween this weekend. A few reminders for you; if you need any winter gear (for anyone in the family) please let me know so I can help you with this. I have also asked that you sign up for a Parent/Teacher conference via zoom this year! Happening on Friday and next Monday. Students will be dismissed at 11:30. I sent a sign up sheet to you via email and via your students back. Please let me know a time that will work for you. Last week's pictures: We are continuing to strengthen our knowledge of place value, using different strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. Here the students are playing games during their "get to" time. When they finish their work for the day, they have a list of choices that they can pick from. In the spirit of Halloween, in science, we talked about the importance of our skull! The students discovered that our skulls protect our brain, helps us to talk, eat and drink, hold our impo
