hello, OCTOBER.
Mixtures….Do Oil and Water Mix??
Through our newly adopted Science curriculum, StemScopes, students are given many hands-on opportunities to explore the concepts being taught!
The Monsters of 17 Murray Lane….
This narrative writing project asked students to write about the first time they met the monster that lived in his/her bedroom at 17 Murray Lane (a fictitious address). Students went through the entire writing process, from gathering ideas and brainstorming, to writing the rough copy, and finally the publishing step!
Oct. 30th- National Candy Corn Day
On October 30th, the country celebrates its favorite vegetable with National Candy Corn Day. In 3rd grade, we celebrated with a fun STEM activity. The Candy Corn Tower Challenge sparked excitement as each group planned a design for the tallest tower! Upon completion, students wrote a reflection and drew a picture of their final product.
Fun Fact: According to the National Confectioners Association, various candy companies and candy makers will produce nearly 35 million pounds of corny candy this year!
STORY BOOK CHARACTER DAY: 10-31-2019
It’s a tradition here, in the Lower School, to dress as your favorite book character on Halloween! Prior to public presentations, 3rd graders gave an oral book report to their classmates. This is always a memorable event!!
