Great Things Going on in Third Grade
Our much anticipated STAAR Wars unit is finally here! Our rooms are ready, and so are our Jedi's in training! We are looking forward to the next two weeks, as we 'use the force' to review all key concepts in reading and math that we have learned in third grade this year.

In addition to our STAAR Wars review, we will still have ELM. In science, students will continue their new ELM over plants. They will be looking at plants as a system and how the different parts of a plant work together. This week students will learn about plants as they work through their DIY's.
