Field Day!! I'm sorry these photos are out of order. Our field trip is at the bottom! The class was so well-behaved outside, and boy...it was HOT! Enjoy!

We were fortunate to be able to ride the carousel at the ball park!

The best seats in the house!

Inside the press box. Learning all the jobs people have to keep the Keys playing.

Inside the visitor's locker room.

The Key's Dugout!

Mt. Olivet Cemetery...the chapel, which houses artifacts from a very old time capsule.

Ask your child what Francis Scott Key is pointing at!

First time ever that I've seen the presses at work!

Learning about some old newspapers and how they were made.

Some people at work.

We have had so much fun the past two days! I am so thankful that the weather held out for us! Although it was hot, it was never really miserable. I am so proud of the behavior of my class! They actually earned a Soaring With Pride sticker for their wonderful sportsmanlike conduct at field day!

Next week we'll be practicing our plays and continuing to get ready for sharing them with other third grades and any parents that can come on June 9th at 9:30.

In Math, we'll be finishing up our next unit on large numbers and will then do some review of Geometry. There will be an assessment next week and the week after.

In Writing we are still working on How To stories.

We're still discussing the environment in Social Studies.

On another note, I will not be in school tomorrow - Friday, the 27th. I am sooo proud to say that I will be attending my son's (Bryce) graduation from Towson University. I can't stop smiling as I type this!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Another rainy day... I'm looking forward to a really nice weekend!

Here's what we've been doing and what we will be doing:
Language Arts: Our scenery is finished and now we'll be practicing our parts! Our production for parents will be on Thursday, June 9th at 9:30. PLEASE do not feel you have to come. This is NOT a major production - it's more of a "reader's theater" than a play. We will be doing 3 plays. Each will take about 10 minutes.

Math: We're continuing to work with larger numbers.

Word Study: Next week we'll be talking about antonyms (opposites).

Social Studies: We'll be reviewing human, natural, and capital resources to get ready for our field trip. We'll also be talking about Frederick landmarks.

Please keep these dates in mind:
Field Trip: May 25
Field Day: May 26
Plays for parents: June 9

PLEASE remind your child that third grade is not over yet! Each student needs to keep working as hard as he/she can until June 14th! Along with that, please continue checking homework and agendas! Thanks!

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Humerick

Have a great weekend!

I am so sorry this is late - Blogger was down for repairs and I couldn't get on. Anyway, here is what we've been doing and what we will be doing:

Language Arts: I haven't ended our Novel Unit yet because this class loves to read! They also love doing activities from the menu they have. So...we're doing that AND our Play Unit. Everyone has a part now and we'll be starting our scenery this week. I will have a date for you at the end of the week for our productions.

Math: We just finished a unit and will be starting a new one on larger numbers. There will be a lot of addition and subtraction in this unit. Hopefully most of it will be a review.

Writing: We're still working on our "How To" essays.

Cursive: We're almost done our capital letters!!

Word Study: This week we'll be working with synonyms - words that mean the same but are spelled differently.

Please make note of these dates:

May 25 - field trip 9:00-1:00 remember your child (and if you are going) will need a disposable, packed lunch unless you have told me otherwise.
May 26 - field day 9:00-12:30 students will need a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle.

I think that's it for now!
Have a great week!

Happy Thursday! I hope this beautiful weather holds out for our 50th Anniversary Celebration and the Strawberry Festival!

Here's what we're doing and what we will be doing:

Language Arts: We're continuing with our Plays unit and our Novels unit. By the end of next week your child will have a part in a play that we will perform. This will most likely take place around the beginning of June.

Math: We've been cutting out fractions and adding them. Next week we'll be doing the same with sets of objects.

Writing: I had so much fun making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with some of the students' directions. We'll be working on giving directions and will then turn that into a "How To" essay.

Word Study: Next week's list will be homophones - words that sound the same but are spelled differently. The test for these words will be sentences using the word properly.

Science: We're still working on our Populations Unit - we'll be discussing ecosystems next week.

Have a wonderful weekend.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
