Valentine's Day Party
Our Valentine's Day Party will be Thursday, February 14 at 8:45AM. Much earlier than usual, but there will be a lot of traffic in school that day because of the Kindergarten Valentine's Concert later that morning. All parents are welcome to join us, if you'd like!
Kids will be able to hand out Valentines to each other that morning. We will make envelopes to collect them in school. If your child is handing out Valentines, there are 23 students in our clasroom: 13 boys and 10 girls. Please remember, if handing out Valentines, one must be brought for each child in the class. Also, no candy should be attached to the Valentines. Field Trip next Wednesday, February 6!
Our field trip to the DuPage County Children's Museum is next Wednesday, February 6! We will leave Lincoln around 9:00AM and return around 2:00PM. Please make sure your child brings a disposable/recyclable NUT-FREE lunch and drink. We will be eating lunch at the museum. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who will chaperone!
Simple Machines
On Monday, we will begin a unit on Forces and Interactions, During this unit, the students will build several simple machines and work together to solve problems involving forces and interactions. Our field trip will explore several of the machines and their uses.
Mathematics: Perimeter, Area, and Polygons
We will begin Unit 4 in our math program next week: Perimeter, Area, and Polygons. There are three investigations:
1. Linear measurement Students develop their ability to use measurement tools to measure objects. They learn that perimeter is the distance around a 2-dimensional figure and measure the perimeter of various 2-D shapes. 2. Understanding and Finding Area Students identify the amount of space a given object covers as its area, and develop an understanding that area is measured in square units. They discuss rectangles that have the same area and different perimeters, and the same perimeter and different areas. 3. Triangles and quadrilaterals Students identify various attributes of shapes and learn that the number of sides identifies a shape as a triangle or a quadrilateral. They place quadrilaterals in different categories (square, rectangle, and rhombus) and discuss how those shapes may share attributes. The kids did very well on Unit 3; please see your child's last assessment from that unit on Seesaw (posted this morning). The Chat with Mrs. Burns's Third Grade
The Chat with Mrs. Burns's Third Grade will return next week with special guest, adventurer James Ketchell. We 'met' James last week during a Google Hangout for schools from Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants, and were so interested, we wanted to know more about his journey. James is the first and only person to have successfully climbed Mt. Everest, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, and cycled 18,000 miles around the world. We are excited to talk to him!
App Dev: Mood Monster's Wellness Workshop
The App Dev team is busy learning to code with Swift Playgrounds, as well as planning the user interface and researching information to go into our app, Mood Monster's Wellness Workshop.
Next week, we have a special guest visiting our class from Orange Theory Fitness to discuss healthy exercise choices for kids so we can add them to our app. We are moving along nicely! Writing our Bullying book:
