Math

The third grade class conducted a school wide survey collecting data, creating a graph, and interpreting the data. The students asked each grade level, "What is your favorite sport?" Each person was given 4 choices, volleyball, swimming, tennis, or soccer to pick from. Students collected data, then created an online bar graph with the results. In our survey, swimming just beat out 

volleyball.

Science

The students are learning about how plants and animals survive in their environments when things such as natural disasters occur. The class has also discussed human impact, both positive and negative, on the environment.

Reading/Language Arts

This week in third grade the class is reading  Judy Moody Saves the World by Megan McDonald. In this humorous fiction story, Judy's science class at school discusses ways to help protect the Earth. Judy goes home and wants her family to jump on board all of her ideas.She realized saving the Earth isn't as easy as she thought.
