Changing it up

The third grade it starting something new this year! We are going to try Instagram instead of blogging! If you would like to follow our classroom, you can find us at MemorialRoom211.

Our field trip around town

On Friday, we spent our day walking around Burlington with the members of the Historical Society. We were able to learn about many of the buildings we pass each day and what their significance is to our town. The students were even able to sit in a one room school house and answer questions using a chalkboard. We learned many interesting facts including the difference between a burying ground and a cemetery. Ask a third graders for the answer!

Field Day Fun

What a beautiful day today! We couldn't have asked for better weather. 

Please enjoy some pictures of the fun!

Movie Time

How do you keep kids engaged for the final few days of school...compare the book they just finished to the movie of course! The kids were so excited and entranced by the movie today! They were immediately noticing the differences between the two.

Concert Photos

What a great concert this morning! Thank you all for coming and supporting our students! 

Cartographers for the Day

Today we were lucky to have a special visitor stop by. Mrs. Pietrantoni has been visiting the Memorial School third graders for ten years now. She creates Burlington maps with the students from a blank piece of paper. As she is teaching they are reinforcing map skills that they have been learning about all year long. Students are also learning about landmarks and land forms that are all around them. Here are several pictures of the students working hard on creating their maps.
