Third graders learned about land forms and bodies of water in Social Studies.  Then they made their own three-dimensional land form maps.  A big "Thank you!" to all the families that sent in materials to make the maps - we couldn't have done it without you.

The Egg Drop Challenge was a smash!

Students used jelly beans to learn about fractions.  Students counted how may jelly beans in all - this was the "whole" or denominator.  Then students sorted the jelly beans by color and created fractions for each color - how many "parts" (numerator) of the "whole" (denominator).  Dividing the jelly beans in half and then eating them was the highlight of this activity!

Students had a fantastic time learning about energy (including: chemical reactions, static electricity, optical illusions, magnetism and sound) through hands-on experiments.

Third graders in Mrs. Armstrong’s and Mrs. Sewade’s classes explored simple circuits. Together with friends they worked to make light bulbs light and pinwheels spin. They experimented with switches, conductors, and series circuits as well.

3^rd Graders have been learning about Weather in Science.  We've worked on cloud types, the water cycle, forecasting and weather instruments.  The third graders made weather instruments: a rain gauge, an anemometer (to measure wind speed), a weather vane and a thermometer.  We concluded our weather unit with a visit from WMUR meteorologist, Kevin Skarupa.
