Trimester 1 Social Skills Celebration

Mrs. Laverdure is a Special Education Strategist in our building and she is involved in the morning meetings of all grade 3 classrooms. All 4 classrooms earned the opportunity to be involved in the TRIMESTER 1 Social Skills Celebration. Each class received a plaque to keep in their classrooms as well as the opportunity to hold the traveling trophy--a gumball machine. During our celebration today, the children were able to chew gum and the watched a short clip from "Finding Nemo" showing a group of fish working together!  She explained that as long as we continue to work together moving on the right path, we will succeed! Thanks Mrs. Laverdure for all of your hard work with our classroom!

Ask your child what a factor means...and what a product means.,.see if they can recall from our conversation today!!

Let me know if you come across any other helpful videos for practicing multiplication on YOUTUBE or PINTEREST!

Science-Magnetism

What causes a magnet to stick to an object? Can a magnet force another object to become a 'temporary' magnet?  How many objects can we get to stick together from one magnet?
 
Ask your kids all about magnets! They did so well this unit!
