Field Trip News

Our field trip to Stone Mountain is scheduled for Friday, March 20, 2020. We will leave from the Fine Arts parking lot at 7:45 and plan to return to FPD by carpool time. This will be such a fun and educational day as we learn more about life in Colonial Georgia. As noted in our emails to you today, please send in your form and a $16 check tomorrow, if possible, so that we can pay by Friday. 

Unit 6 Highlights:

• compare different approaches to solving the same problem and decide which strategies are more efficient. 
• take inventory of known multiplication facts and how they can use them to solve unfamiliar facts. 
• model multi-step number stories with one or more equations and represent the unknown quantities with letters.
• use parentheses to group and order operations.   

Daily practice of multiplication facts is crucial! Focusing on one fact family each week is a good way to direct practice.

The biographies and paper dolls were fantastic! We’ve learned a lot about these famous Americans. Please come by the third grade hall and take a peak. We’ll keep them up so our grandparents can brag!!!

     We are excited to read EXODUS – Moses’ Story from the Bible. We are learning about the promises of God and how He used Moses just as He is using His people today.

Our Georgia unit continues! We have enjoyed learning about our state's history, elected officials, rivers and cities, and symbols. Our field trip to Stone Mountain will be a perfect conclusion to our unit. 
Our next units in science are simple machines and inventions.
