Team Urban,
Last week we went deeper, pardon the pun, into our learning about the Titanic. Students researched a real life passenger on the Titanic and wrote a biography about their life. Additionally, they learned about buoyancy and density in regards to sinking and floating. Finally, they designed boats from tinfoil and students were challenged to see whose boat could hold the most mass without sinking. Watch the video to see who won that challenge!
Week 32 Highlights
Service Projects:
All third grade service projects are due on Tuesday, May 1st. Our YAPS penny war fundraiser is still happening for another few weeks. Thank you for your awesome support! Our YAPS Read-A-Thon will take place the week of May 21st.
SBACC:
SBACC (state testing) will begin the week of May 7th and continue through May 18th. Please plan all doctor and/or dentist appointments for after the school day and please be on time for school. During our testing weeks please send your kiddo with extra snacks. Research shows that kiddos who are chewing do better on assessments. Also, be sure your kiddo gets plenty of sleep and a good breakfast. If you signed up for a perishable food item for testing week, you can send them in on Monday, May 7th. Thank you all for your support for our class!
