Greetings from Room 116!
We’re gearing up as time winds down, packing lots of action into these final
days. Here are some highlights from this past week:
ELA: We reviewed irregular plurals and began writing our play.
Math: We practiced multi-digit addition and subtraction strategies to help
increase accuracy and efficiency.
Science: We finished our simple machines posters to conclude that unit and
started our exploration of sound.
SS: We learned about some of the geographic features of present day
Massachusetts.
Other: We ended our week with a fabulous field trip to the Jericho House.
The week ahead promises to be very busy indeed, with lots of special events:
Author Visit (Monday), Field Day (Tuesday), and Grade 3 Celebration/Annual
EHB Family Picnic (Friday). Have a spectacular weekend!
Sincerely,
Ms. Feeney

Greetings from Room 116!

Wow!! Is it really June already? How time flies! We’re in the home stretch
now, and it will be a race to the finish with tons of fun and entertaining
activities from here on out. This week, we kept busy with the following:

ELA: We reviewed plural endings in spelling, and finished reading and
responding to our fantasy books. We also worked on several writing pieces.

Math: We expanded our understanding of geometry/measurement concepts.
Science: We conducted experiments with simple machines and worked on
informational posters to showcase our learning.

SS: We published historical fiction letters about colonial life incorporating
information we have gained throughout the year.

Other: Congratulations to our Music Memory team for earning a blue ribbon
at the BHS competition this week. We had fun supporting our classmates
and listening to the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra at this event.

Next Friday, June 8, we will walk over to the Jericho House for another
glimpse back into colonial life. On Monday, June 11, we will host an author
visit from Ruth Sanderson, and on Tuesday, June 12, we will enjoy our Field
Day. The Grade 3 Celebration will be held on Friday, June 15, at 10:00,
followed by the Annual EHB Family picnic at noon. Have a restful weekend!!

Sincerely,
Ms. Feeney
