March Adventures
March has been a great month so far! We've been studying a lot about Native Americans. We've gone to the Nature Center, listened to a guest speaker, Lacee Harris, and learned from the other third grade teachers. There is a lot of cool facts and information!
We've also been studying our times tables. We are getting better at them. Continue working on 6, 7, and 8. These seem to be the tough ones! We're finishing up time and measurement and will soon be working on probability in math.
In reading, we've started our new unit on voyages. Thanks to everyone who is coming to speak to our class about their voyages to other countries. There's still time and slots if you've been somewhere and would like to share your adventures with our class!
CRT tests are coming up in April and May (I can't believe the year has gone so quickly!) If you're planning on a vacation in those months, please let the school know so we can get all necessary testing done.

Dr. Seuss Day Video
We had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America Day. We read Green Eggs and Ham, Bartholomew and the Oobleck and the Sneetches. We created a class book about food we don't like, played with oobleck, ate birthday cup cakes, and got a free book from Barnes and Noble.
Oobleck Recipe!
We had so much fun playing with Oobleck at school today. Talk with your parents and try making some at home! Just mix cornstarch and water together (you can add food coloring if you want to make it green.) Have fun with this neat substance that has the properties of both a solid and a liquid!
