Team Urban,
We had so much fun learning about the Titanic for these past few weeks. To end this fun social studies unit, students learned about surface area and buoyancy in science and designed their own boats. Then, they tested them to see whose design would hold the most weight before sinking.
Here is a short video clip of the fun!

Service Projects:
All third-grade service projects will be due on Friday, May 3rd.
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. I am currently holding morning test prep every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:25am - 7:55am. For those of you who want your kiddos to practice, but cannot get them to tutoring, I put the SBACC practice assessment link to the right.------------------>
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. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
