News From The Classroom - 3rd Grade

The Hanawalt Third Graders are already busy learning lots of new things! We are working with numbers in math learning about place value and rounding. In reading, we are finishing up a unit on adventure. We have enjoyed reading several stories with characters who encounter adventures in a variety of ways. In Writer’s Workshop, the students are learning how to write good paragraphs. Ask them how hamburgers relate to a paragraph. Students are learning about water in science. We’ve learned that it is an earth material and have done an experiment to find out how water reacts on different surfaces. Later this fall we will take a field trip to Water Works Park to learn how we get our water that we drink. Here’s what a few kids have to say about third grade so far:
Kade says he likes math and learning his facts.
Elmin is excited about the Bloomcamp Relays this spring.
Cindy says she likes all of the reading time she gets.
