 Hi Parents, We have been hard at work in grade 3. Our class has enjoyed creating 2 digital locked rooms about multiplication with our learning leaders last week. With all these snowy days you can try one of them out as a family. They are posted in our Google classroom under "locked room". Ask your child what locked room they made. In social studies, we are continuing to learn about culture in Ukraine. We learned about the matrushka dolls (nesting dolls) last week and have been reading and recording facts about the Ukraine on our fact chart. Today we are starting our unit about time.
