December 15th!

This week’s bloggers of the week are Tyler and Alyosha!

In Math: We learned about perimeter and area.

For example,

P (perimeter)= The length of the outside of a shape,

A (area)= The square unit of the inside of a shape.

In Writing: We did a writing prompt to see how much we’ve learned
so far this year. We also made a mini project called “Best Part Of Me”
and took a picture of the favorite part of our body.

In Reading: We are finding the main idea and details when reading
nonfiction. An article we read was called
“Weird But Wonderful Octopuses.”

Social studies: We started working on our country project at home.
We each have chosen a different country to study on and we will have
a presentation in February. We also started a packet called
“Where In The World Is Yarmouth?”

Other/Announcement: We went rock climbing at the high school
on Wednesday. We each climbed about 8-10 times with the help
of 4 high school students and a coach.
Check out the rock climbing video!!

We also watched the winter concert at the gym on Friday.

Thank you to those who have donated for our third grade holiday rotations!
Please bring in donations by Monday.
