Penpal Meet Up!

Today was the long anticipated penpal meet up! We got to finally meet our Hiawatha buddies! We had so much fun getting to know each other in person! Can't wait to see them again next year at Fleming! 

Poetry Comes Alive!

We enjoyed a Words Come Alive workshop with Susanna Olson from the Flynn this morning! And what a treat it was! We got to act out poetry through movement and rhythm! Here are some photos from our workshop! 

Have a great weekend! 

Fractions!

We have a lot to celebrate in third grade this week! Hopefully your children have come home and shared how amazing their learning and thinking has been the last few days! I have commented on how this group has been showing me they are so ready for 4th grade! 

We are in the middle of Unit 7 in Bridges which is all about multiplication, division, and fractions! We have just learned about how to use egg cartons to help us understand fractions. Ask your child about the work we have been doing using the egg cartons! 

Some questions to ask: How do you use the yarn to create equal parts? 

How do you know what the denominator is? Or the numerator?

Did you find any equivalent fractions? 

Even with all the amazing learning, we found a few minutes for some choice time! By request...a photos of some great teamwork!

Housekeeping

Reminder: We will be walking to the high school tomorrow to see Frozen. We will leave around 12:45 and return by the end of the day.

Friday is Student Led Conferences. Please email me or send a note if you are unsure of your appointment time.

We will be starting end of year assessments next week! This is always an exciting time to celebrate all the growth this year!

Information about the 3rd Grade Talent Show will be coming home in Friday Folders tomorrow!

Thanks!

Ice Cream, Four Winds, and Gardening

Thanks to Mrs. Gruendling for spoiling us with ice cream from Sam's Scoop Shop on Thursday to celebrate the end of SBAC testing!!! Yum!

We learned all about bird calls during Four Winds on Friday! 

On Friday, kids in the Gardening Club helped plant lots of different plants in the garden! 

Love the precision here :)
