Read Across America Day!

Wednesday, March 2 was Read Across America Day.  At SVN many classrooms celebrated the day by reading Dr. Seuss books, making green eggs and ham, and creating Dr. Seuss style hats and illustrations.  Every student at SVN also received a brand new book.

Third grade decided to document this exciting day by creating a movie.  Take a moment to view their film.

Reading to Others

Last week Brooke decided she would like to read to Mr. Nick's pre-k class. She requested a time, chose a book, and read to the class. The pre-k students were very engaged and enjoyed her reading.

Third Grade Math

This month third grade is studying addition, subtraction, and the number system.  SVN uses Scott Foresman's Investigation math curriculum.  In these photos and videos students are playing a game called, Collect $2.00.  Students add pennies and dimes to sums up to $2.00.  They also use equivalencies among pennies, dimes and dollars.

At home have your child count your change for you, play board games that use money, or even have your child create their own Collect $2.00 game to play at home!

Hard at work the first week back!

This was our first week back after summer vacation.  Third grade has been working hard reviewing routines and procedures. 

In this video the third graders are preparing their science notebooks for the month of August.
