Pizza Party

Congratulations to 3G! They filled their marble jar with their good deeds, excellent behavior, and strong choices. The first goal the class voted to work towards was a pizza party. 🍕 I didn’t capture as many photos as I should have. I was serving all the food!

99math.com

3G loves playing 99math, a math fluency game. Students play several rounds challenging themselves to earn as many points as possible for accuracy and speed in recalling the basic arithmetic facts. Each student works on an individual device.

Such focus!!

Temples, Tombs, and Treasures

3rd grade launched a new IPC unit to study ancient civilizations. Our archeologists threw themselves into the work of uncovering artifacts buried in the sand and hidden in a dark tomb. Again, I regret that I couldn’t capture more photos.

Even Mrs. Forbes-Dias took a trip through the tomb!

Some of our students participated in the French School assembly, showing off their performing arts and language skills! Bravo!

Milkshakes!

We wrapped up our IPC “Shake It!” unit with milkshakes. Students used their own handcrafted whisks to whip up their milkshakes with extra tasty mix-ins. It was a loud and exciting finale to the unit.

Writing

3G showed such focus as they were working toward their publishing deadline for their small moment personal narratives. Students showed off all their skills bringing their true stories through the writing process all the way to publishing. Everyone in the class published on time!

Saint Maur will host the annual Christmas Bazaar on November 12th! This is a fun celebration full of holiday cheer and merriment. 🎅🤶

3G students designed and created their own original whisks for frothing milk. We’re looking forward to making milkshakes! After drafting a plan on paper, students set out to bring their design to life with wires and ingenuity.

Grammar Scavenger Hunt

Ms. Mukhi shared some photos from 3G’s mini scavenger hunt. Students searched for small tasks cards placed around the room – some in obvious locations, others more obscure – then, tried to correct the quotation mistakes.

September 29th was our first Fun Day of the year! 3G joined students from across the elementary school to play games, go on a scavenger hunt, compete in relay races, and participate in a walkathon charity fundraiser. Here are some pictures of the action.

3G put their science skills to the test. After learning about the Scientific Method, students set up an experiment to transform liquid cream into butter.

There was a lot of shaking involved. After all the hard work, there was delicious butter to eat!

That was an exciting day!

3G taught the whole school about citizenship. The students created their own scenes about how to show good citizenship at school, in the community, and in the world. 🌍 They were excited to sing, dance, and create costumes. We received a lot of positive feedback from students and teachers across the school. The assembly was fun and high energy!

It is amazing what one can learn from milk and a few simple tools! 3G threw themselves into an investigation of milk using measuring cups, whisks, funnels, filters, and spoons. With teamwork and scientific thinking, the class applied their knowledge of states of matter to practical experimentation.
