Holiday Celebration

Dear Third Grade Families,

The children were delighted with all of the delicious breakfast foods and crafts that were sent in.  Thank you to families and Room Parents for contributing to our celebration!  We had lots of fun together throughout the day!

 

Remember to read each day throughout the vacation, skip count, and practice the x 2, x 3, and x 4 multiplication facts.  Enjoy a fun and restful holiday with your families!  

Sincerely,
Keelin M. Simpson

Happy Holidays From Room 15

             

Third graders have been busy in Room 15 this December.  We celebrated all of our hard work with some snow mountain time outside!

                

Mathematicians have learned about measuring mass in December.  Students used gram weights on a balance scale to find the mass of objects around the classroom.

The objects in this bag have a mass of 1,000 grams or 1 kilogram!

                       

 Mathematicians earned some Chromebook time for all of their excellent work with measuring!

We spent some time making colorful snowflakes to decorate our classroom today!

Remember to practice the X 2, X 3, and X 4 multiplication facts throughout the vacation.  A  few minutes of practice each day will make a big difference!  Keep skip counting each day, too.  Focus on skip counting by 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's.  

Have a joyful, safe holiday vacation!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Simpson

Room 15 News

 

Third graders are learning about Native Americans that lived in the Northeast Region of the United States.  Students have learned about foods Native Americans ate, the jobs of men and women within tribes, and the homes they lived in. Students are working on creating Google Slideshows to reflect their research and learning.  

Students made wampum necklaces from string, shells, and beads this afternoon.  Native Americans used wampum  as currency, for trade, to tell a story, and as jewelry.

 

 

 

Third grade mathematicians, remember to work towards memorizing the X 2, X 3, and  X 4 facts this weekend.  Practice skip counting; especially by 6's, from 6  - 60.  If you can count forwards by 6's, can you count backwards by 6's?  Challenge yourself! 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Keelin Simpson
