It's Scholastic book order time!  This will be our final book order of third grade; It's the perfect time to purchase some great summer reads.  Please contact me if you would like to know your student's current reading level, and be sure to place your orders by Friday, May 19, 2017.

During one of our Science units, students researched and presented information on biomes of their choice. Students enjoyed working together to learn about different plant and animal habitats, such as desert, prairie, tundra, and forest.   Here are some pictures of their finished projects:

Did you know that the spring reading goal for third grade students is to read aloud 123 words per minute?  We practice our oral reading fluency every day at school.  Remember to ask your child to read aloud at home daily to meet our goal!

Earlier this year, Mrs. Beaudoin helped us "Make Way for Ducklings" and led us on a Google Earth tour of all the places we read about in this Robert McCloskey story.  Our class really enjoyed this "virtual field trip" to Boston!

A big thank you to the Hooksett Fire Department for speaking with our class!  We learned what to do to stay safe during a fire, and even got to tour the truck!

Welcome winter!  The cold weather is here...please make sure that your child comes dressed appropriately for outdoor recess: hats, boots, gloves/mittens, and a hat.  Snow pants are required for all recess areas beyond the blacktop.  Thank you!

Welcome back to school!  We have had a great first few days of school, and are busy learning the rules, routines, and expectations of our school and classroom!  Remember to review these expectations for school behavior with your child.  Please check this website periodically for updates regarding our class, and remember to return all parent paperwork.  Let's have a great year in third grade!
