SBAC testing is complete. After many rehearsals students rocked their spring concert with confidence and joy! We continue to work diligently in the classroom on our Cinderella around the world unit, geometry and animal research projects. In science we explored the different properties of magnets. Students experimented and made locks for doors that could be opened with magnets. We are looking forward to a week full of field trips!<br />

On Monday we traveled to the Hopkins Center to enjoy a fabulous show about young Jane Goodall. In the afternoon a DBS parent came in to speak with us about magnetism. Students were thrilled with their magnet exploration time. Our Otters spent 3 mornings taking the SBAC test. One of the tests was a written assessment and the other 2 days were spent on the math assessment. Students continue to work on their, "All About Me" project, along with their animal research project. We had two fun-filled days in the forest.<br />

We started a new project that includes multiple forms of media. These projects will be an illustration of each student. The platform that is being used is called, "We Video." In math our focus on geometry continues. We reviewed different types of angles and attributes of polygons. We made shapes with our bodies, tangrams and toothpicks! The enthusiasm for our Cinderella unit is growing! We read the version from China and continue to admire the similarities and differences. Our writing prompt from the week was to write the story from the step sisters' point of view. Our mystery science lesson focused on exploring the questions, "What can magnets do?" Finally our third graders ROCKED their SBAC testing day. Their focus and work ethic was exemplary!<br />

This week was all about collaboration! Our final reading unit was launched on Monday. Students were split up into small research groups. Readers got themselves ready for the research work by first looking over easier texts to get an over view of their topics and to search for subtopics. In math we began our last unit of the year on, geometry. Students worked together to learn cooperatively about shapes and then shared their learning with the class. During writing workshop students wrote 5 paragraph persuasive essays about their spring vacations. We began a new unit, "Cinderella around the world." We will be investigating the question, "Why has Cinderella captured the hearts of people all around the world?" Finally, this class ROCKED their first SBAC test session on Thursday.</div>

Each drop of our syrup was thoroughly enjoyed and relished! We continued our work on persuasive writing. We are crafting five paragraph essays and using lots of details and evidence to support our thesis. In reading workshop we talked about how all main characters travel along a "story mountain." Readers expect that a character will face a problem that gets bigger and bigger, reaches a turning point, then is resolved. Students worked through their fiction books to locate all of the problems that their characters resolved. In math our focus of the week was finding the area of objects. We measured all sorts of things around the classroom. In our mystery science lesson we learned about different types of bridges. Next week students will get the opportunity to build their own, while testing its integrity with pennies! <br />

The rain started as soon as we opened the school door to begin our adventure. We had set up maple-work rotations for the morning, but quickly realized that it was too wet to write anything! Our third graders were flexible and full of positivity! We started our morning by checking in with our wonderful DBS parent who had organized our sugaring operation for the day. Throughout the day students helped stack wood, tasted the sap, smelled the steam and were amazed as the liquid gold was forming!<br />
Back in the classroom we continue to focus on multiplication and division. Each math class starts with a "number talk" where students must engage in mental math while exploring and articulating various strategies. During writing workshop, students continue to focus on persuasive writing. This week we spent time going back over speeches we have written and tried to make them even better.<br />
In reading workshop many partnerships have moved on to a new book. Here are some of the titles that are being read: <i>Coyote Autumn</i>, <i>The Sign of the Beaver</i>, <i>Chocolate Fever </i>and <i>Sadie.</i><br />
The third grade is also working together to learn more about the SBAC test which will be taken after spring vacation.<br />

<b><span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;">HAPPY SPRING!!!</span></b></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was a short, but invigorating week! Spring is in the air, and our 3rd grade otters are busier than ever! During writing workshop, students continue to craft persuasive speeches. This week we focused on thinking of a problem that needs to be changed (homelessness, pollution.) We are considering our audience and predicting what they might say back to us. Students are taking this concept very seriously and are sharing their ideas/speeches with classmates. This week during reading workshop we continued to focus on character traits. In math we are deepening our understanding of multiplication and division. We learned how to play a new game called, "Line 'em Up." We spent Wednesday morning in the woods, we enjoyed snack, a read aloud and exploration time. </div>

On Wednesday morning third graders ventured out with buckets, drills, taps and a lot of enthusiasm! Everyone got involved in the tapping process. Now we are just waiting for the sap to flow! We had a visit from Susan Shimko from Ava Gallery. We learned more about the villages in Hartford. Students choose a historic building to watercolor. Students reviewed our science unit, "Animals Through Time" and took a summative assessment on Friday. We continue to explore multiplication and division through story problems. <br />

This week was all about teamwork! Students are working hard in their village groups on collaborative projects. Their maturity and independence is shining through! Students are eager to use even their free time to focus on social studies. In writing workshop students continue to work on persuasive speech writing. At the end of the week they each chose a noteworthy person to write about, making sure to give reason and examples to back up their thesis. In reading we continue our character work, digging deeper into why our main characters act a certain way. The essential question for science was, <i>"How long can people and animals survive in outer space?"</i> Our week concluded in the forest with some seriously FUN sledding... and many signs of spring! </div>

Students arrived on Monday, refreshed and ready to learn! They always seem to have grown so much after a vacation. We had one of our best weeks yet. We launched a new unit in math, linking multiplication and division. Students were given equations and wrote story problems to match. In reading we began a new unit on character studies. We are starting to notice patterns of behavior in our characters and coming up with deeper theories about who they are as people and why. During writing workshop students wrote persuasive speeches about needing more magazines in our school library and backing up their opinions with reasons. Finally we enjoyed our whole school reward of the entertaining circus show (which included 4 stars from our class!)<br />

Thank you to all of our families for your contributions! Our earned party was a GREAT success! When students arrived on Thursday morning they were thrilled to find our classroom transformed into an enormous fort! We enjoyed a long, cozy read aloud. After, we struggled through eating donuts on a string and then enjoyed an exciting game of charades. The food was festive and delicious! We also got in some good learning this week!! During writing we continued our work on preparing for the SBAC. In reading workshop we began character studies. Each student shared about a character from their independent reading book. We talked about finding evidence in our stories that tells us about the type of person our character is. On Wednesday we had Dartmouth students help the class explore energy by setting up a fun potato experiment. In math students took an assessment. We are now beginning a new unit on multiplication, division and area. </div>

In math we concluded our work on unit four. We worked on ordering and comparing fractions. For writing this week we began to prepare for the SPAC (a reading and writing test the students will take this spring.) In preparation of this assessment we read 2 different articles, took notes on the main ideas and supporting details. Next students were given a graphic organizer to plan an essay incorporating a thesis with supporting details from both sources. This was HARD work! The class took this work on with great focus and confidence. On Friday students shared their non fiction teaching books with classmates, then we set up a book museum for everyone to enjoy! Our reading focus this week was exploring Hartford history. We ended the week in the sunny and cold forest with fire-side s'mores! <br />

Despite the short and crazy week, we accomplished so much! In math students are learning about fractions as fair shares. We are experimenting with pattern blocks and cookies to gain a deeper understanding of the concept. In writing students completed a non fiction writing prompt to illustrate all they had learned from during the unit on teaching books. We had Dartmouth students join us to explore energy with us. These student teachers will join us each Wednesday until the February break. Students were introduced to our Hartford history project. The class was broken up into 5 groups. Each group will focus on one of the villages in Hartford. Students have essential questions to explore together. Within their groups they will decide what type of project they would like to engage in.<br />

Our 3rd grade Otters worked incredibly hard to finish up projects this week. Writing workshop was our most focused time of the day. Students finished editing and typing up their non fiction teaching books. They crafted names for their books and painted covers. In reading we also finished our biography projects. It is exciting to see the independence in this group growing! All students were at different phases in their projects and worked independently with great focus! In science we explored the questions, "Can selection happen without people." In math we continue to explore measurement. Our week ended with a chilly, but dynamic afternoon in our forest classroom.</div>

Between morning delays, snow days and winter activities our schedule was a bit different, but our 3rd grade otters are learning how to become flexible. In math we finished our first module in unit 4: measuring time and mass. We are becoming better at telling time and learning how to compare mass. Our writers are working diligently to finish up non fiction teaching books. Many students are in the final phases of typing up their chapters. In reading workshop students are reading biographies and writing reports on what they have learned. The essential question for our Mystery Science lesson was, "What kind of animals might there be in the future?" Students worked together to create, "designer dogs." On Friday we enjoyed a chilly afternoon in our forest Friday classroom. Students were amazed by the changes they found! <br />

Our 3rd Grade Otters returned from break, refreshed, motivated and ready to learn! We had an awesome short week together. They seemed to have matured over the holiday! We spent time talking about New Year's resolutions and developed new personal goals. Students were honest and thoughtful as they considered the year ahead. In math we began a new unit on measurement. The first couple of days were spent learning about time. In writing workshop we have begun the editing process for our non fiction, teaching books. Some students are finishing writing introductions and conclusions, while others are working with a partner on peer editing. In reading workshop we focused on biographies (understanding and synthesizing the setting, problem/challenge and resolution.) Our science lesson this week was based on animals through time (survival and heredity.) Students participated in a fun activity to "outrun" a dinosaur. On Friday we used snow shoes to get to our outdoor classroom as the trails were very slippery. We discovered many interesting tracks in the snow!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

OUR FOREST FRIDAY CHRISTMAS TREE</div>

In math we worked on rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We are subtracting larger numbers on the number line. Subtraction with regrouping has just been introduced. In writing workshop students learned about what makes a good conclusion: connecting back to your introduction, explaining why your topic matters and leaving your reader with something to think about. During reading this week, students chose a non fiction book of their choice and are learning to write an informative summary focusing on the main idea and details and leaving out unimportant information. Our week will end in the forest with an outside ornament-making workshop.<br />

Thank you so much for coming to support your child last night at our winter concert. The children beamed with pride as they sang their hears out! On Monday we had Susan Shimko from Ava gallery come in for the morning. She taught the children about the famous flood of 1927. The children created beautiful pieces illustrating their understanding of the event. On Wednesday we spent time with the 2nd Graders to learn more about butterflies. Thursday's field trip to Circus Mechanics was a huge success. Our 3rd grade otters were amazed by the show. They did an incredible job as respectful audience members! We look forward to two solid weeks more of focused leaning!<br />

We started off with our gingerbread extravaganza. Our 3rd grade Otters used teamwork to create a unique gingerbread house. This project seemed to kick off our holiday spirit!<br />
In math we worked hard to strengthen our understanding of multiplication through number puzzles, math games and patterns in the multiplication table. In reader's workshop students are becoming experts in non fiction topics. They are reading various interesting articles and teaching their partner about the main idea and supporting details. In writer's workshop our non fiction teaching books continue to grow. Students are writing more chapters and thinking about what makes a good introduction. We ended out week in the forest with more team building activities and exploration in the snow. <br />

It was awesome that our crew was properly prepared to enjoy the elements (thank you!) Even though it was a short week, we made each moment count! In reading we continue to work on grasping the main idea in non fiction articles and think about the details that support the main idea. Students continue to work in small groups to practice this task. The engagement with this group during reading has been extraordinary! In writing students continue to work on their non fiction teaching books. They solidified their table of contents and learned about different structures of writing: cause and effect, problem-solution, main idea and supporting details. In math students continue to strengthen their understanding of multiplication. The forest has turned into a wonderland with endless opportunities! Students exhibited GREAT teamwork as they helped each other with shelters, invented new games, made snow sculptures and learned about fire safety.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Questions to spark conversation:</u></b><br />
-What did you learn from the non fiction articles you read this week?<br />
-What did you do during forest Friday? How was it different? What did you do in the circle?<br />
-What non fiction teaching book are you writing?<br />
-What multiplication problem did you and your partner work on during your skip counting exercise?<br />
