This week students came back from a restful April vacation. We got right back to work will full focus. Everyone was excited to see Ms. Drouin or should we say Mrs. Accorsini! Our class decided to have a "Welcome Back," conversation so Mrs. Accorsini could tell us the details of her amazing day. Just in case you didn't know. . . She got married! After our conversation we got back to business. Here are a few things we learned: In Math:

Ms. Merrell also started a "bird watching," club with our class. During recess, (weather permitting) students can ask to use binoculars to look for birds. She also handed out journals so the students could take notes and observations of what they saw. Students from the other classes are also welcomed to join upon request. A few students from the other 3rd grade classes heard about this and joined the last observational group.

After-school on Tuesday some students set off their volcano projects! Here are some class moments: Ms. Drouin also is getting married over April Break! The kids made her some gifts during Art.
This week we had an author named Suzy Kline come to visit. She is the author of the "Horrible Harry," series. She was so engaging with the students and taught us one special lesson, "Never leave the house without a small notebook and pencil!" She said that in order to become a writer you need to practice writing. When you are out in the world you might think of a great idea that could be a SEED for a story. These ideas can help you create wonderful stories. EXPERIENCES are what bring your writing to life. Suzy Kline called a few teachers to the front of the cafe to perform what we call "Reader's Theater." The teachers were assigned parts from one of her books and they read through the lines as if they were making the text come alive. There was a "teacher and a few students in the scene." The 3rd grade students at Franklin thought it was hilarious. Students also completed their ELA MCAS sections this week! They were so positive and really focused. We wrote inspirations quotes the day before we started. In Math:
We also learned about Multiples of numbers. . . 3, 6, 9, 12 . . . In Literacy/Writing:
