Can you believe how quickly the past few weeks have gone by? It seems as soon as the week starts, it is already over! Luckily, we have started to find our groove with learning the new routines of third grade. The past few weeks have brought us author visits, exciting units of study in science, and our first novel study! We were captivated as author Jarrett Krosoczka explained his journey from a boy with a dream of being an author and illustrator to a published writer. His story showed us the importance of persistence and made us hungry to read his "Lunch Lady" graphic novel series! In addition to author visits, we enjoyed showing our spirit during College Week and had two visits from Mrs. Guevara. On her second visit, we learned about "Rachel's Challenge" and began our "Chain Reaction of Kindness"! Did you see the picture of Mrs. Guevara sporting a chain that will one day maybe make it's way all around the whole school! In class, we have loved our science units of study that have taught us about friction, matter, and most recently simple machines! We love recording our scientific findings and experiments in our science journals. Reading is never a dull moment when characters like Ramona and Willy Wonka are invading our room and math is full of exciting new challenges in fun, hands on, explorations! Doesn't it sound like fun! Well, don't take my word for it, check out the "Week In Review" video that we will hope to feature each week along with a few pictures showcasing our adventures in Third Grade!
