Hi everyone,
This week the weather had a mind of its own. We experienced significant rain (learning the word deluge first hand) to sunny, clear days of 70 degrees and back to a drizzle of rain on Friday. I am extremely proud of our third graders and how well they are handling the elements. On Tuesday, students worked hard on creating new waterways for the tarp drip-off, rerouting the flooding water, navigating obstacles along the way. Watching every student collaborate, problem-solve, and troubleshoot issues as they arose was simply amazing. They are an incredible group of students with strong minds and determined personalities. By the end of the week, students worked on writing more poetry within their journals, met in their reading groups, and completed activities in their math menu. Hopefully, you were able to check out their Seesaw accounts as well to see a sample of their writing.
Questions to spark conversation:
1. What is the difference between a triangle, quadrilateral, and pentagon?
2. How does water travel? How can you change its route?
3. What is your color of fall? Why did you choose this color?
4. What changes have you observed in the woods this week?
Here are some pictures from our week:

| When telling these students I love where we live, one replied, "You can say that again!" |
 |
| One of our classroom jobs asks students to find items from the forest to add to our museum display for the day. This wood slice was found! |

| A little drizzle did not stop these students from working around our campfire. |
